Winchester Aviation, the airport-owned service provider at Winchester Regional Airport (KOKV) in Virginia, opened its new terminal after 22 months of construction.
With its aesthetic inspired by the Shenandoah Valley, the $11.5 million, 16,300-sq-ft two-story building features a lobby furnished in natural materials, passenger lounge, pilot lounge with snooze room, large meeting room with seating for 60, business center suite, mother’s room, and family restroom. It was designed with eco-friendly features such as a “cool roof” and the FBO’s ramp includes a conduit system to support electric aircraft charging.
“We set out to create the ‘terminal of the future’ by reimagining how a general aviation airport can connect with its community in new and meaningful ways,” said KOKV executive director Nick Sabo. “This terminal is ready to support the next generation of aviation and serve as a vital transportation, business, and community hub.”
The FBO is also the latest to join the Avfuel branded dealer network, offering contract fuel and participating in the Avtrip customer loyalty program.
“Avfuel is excited to partner with Winchester Aviation at the cusp of unprecedented growth with this new terminal,” said Joel Hirst, the fuel provider’s senior v-p of sales. “We’re also honored the airport entrusted Avfuel to provide heightened safety, integrity, and reliability in aviation fuel and services.”

New developments at FBOs including regulations and noise issues; legal disputes; openings, acquisitions and mergers.
