Service Provider Takes Over Management of Oregon Airport

Konect Aviation Oregon has been tapped to take over management duties at Oregon’s McMinnville Municipal Airport (MMV). Konect, which assumed aircraft support at MMV from Cirrus Aviation in January, has had a presence at the airport since 2009 as a charter operator and scenic tour provider. “The city has been shifting focus to support the airport, so Konect’s timing is great,” said company owner and general manager Holly Nehls. The city is slated to renovate the airport’s 5,400-foot main Runway 04/22 next year, and the company plans to take advantage of that lull to build a terminal now in the design phase.
