A private aviation real estate developer has obtained permission to construct a new FBO at Atlanta-area Fulton County Executive Airport (KFTY). According to Jim Flock Jr., president of the Flock Realty Group who is representing the owner, construction of the greenfield facility will begin as soon as the company inks an agreement with its first hangar tenant, likely in the first quarter of 2024. The company has a 40-year lease on the property plus two additional five-year options.
Once completed, the multi-million-dollar FBO will become the third service provider at KFTY, alongside established service providers Hill Aircraft and Signature Aviation."We conducted a feasibility study and, based on jet traffic and fuel sales, determined that the airport could support a third FBO and additional corporate hangars,” Flock told AIN.
The facility will feature a pair of corporate hangars, each more than 30,000 sq ft, and a modern, glass-sheathed, two-story terminal with a large aircraft arrivals canopy. He noted that the current plan is to operate the new facility under the name Atlanta Executive, but he added that the company would entertain the idea of a collaboration with an established FBO operator.
