Million Air Dallas, one of three service providers at Addison Airport (KADS), has broken ground on an approximately three-acre ramp on a parcel of land adjoining the airport’s existing U.S. Customs facility and administrative office building. The project is expected to be completed by the end of next month and will provide direct access to Million Air’s facility.
Additionally, the more-than-$5 million development which will bring the company to nearly 9 acres of ramp at KADS, will also allow the FBO to offer ramp-side vehicle access for arriving aircraft. Following clearance, those aircraft will then be towed from the customs ramp and either prepared for departure or moved to one of Million Air’s hangars. According to the company, the elimination of an engine cycle will result in fuel cost savings and faster, more efficient turnarounds.
“This project represents an expansion of Million Air’s nationally recognized service to the U.S. Customs ramp, enhancing both service quality and operational efficiency for international aircraft arriving to Addison,” said Jeff Zimmerman, the franchisee’s v-p of FBO services.
