With the opening of a new U.S. Customs and Immigration facility in April, Florida Keys International Airport (MTH) has seen an increase in traffic, according to Marathon Jet Center, the half of the FBO provider that services turbine-powered aircraft. Once the traditional high season begins after Thanksgiving, the company expects business to improve even more.
Since the return of customs service at MTH for the first time in nearly three decades, the FBO has seen approximately 100 international arrivals, with clearance averaging 15 minutes, including fueling. It currently offers concierge services and on-site car rentals, and its FBO terminal has a crew lounge and passenger lobby.
The company plans to enhance its facility next year with the opening of a new 12,000-sq-ft hangar and improvements to the terminal, which will expand office spaceand add a pilot snooze room, flight-planning room, kitchen, conference rooms, showers and individual work stations.
