Jet Center at Santa Fe, one of two aircraft service providers at New Mexico’s Santa Fe Regional Airport (KSAF), has completed construction of a $2.8 million terminal. The company began operations at KSAF in 2015 from a 1,800- sq-ft, city-owned facility, which was retained and gutted and now houses the service provider’s line staff, a catering kitchen, and offices for company administration and tenants.
Its new 6,200-sq-ft terminal—which took 10 months to build and is decorated in a modern Southwest theme—features a lobby furnished in wood with exposed beams and a stone fireplace that extends from the floor to the 18-foot-high ceiling. The building's large windows overlooking the ramp provide ample natural light and offer vistas of the Jemez Mountains.
Amenities include a six-seat conference room, refreshment bar, pilot lounge with snooze room, concierge, and rampside vehicle access.
The Avfuel-branded FBO has more than 50,000 sq ft of heated hangar space capable of sheltering the latest ultra-long-range business jets and 10 acres of ramp parking. An FAA Part 145 repair station is also on site.
The FBO earned the highest score worldwide in the line-service category of this year’s AIN FBO Survey, tallying a 4.91 rating out of a possible 5.
