North American Flight Services, the lone FBO at New York’s Saratoga County Airport (K5B2) for more than two decades, has unveiled its new $32 million facility. The complex includes a 20,500-sq-ft, two-story terminal featuring natural materials.
Inside the terminal is an airy sunlit atrium lobby, 20-seat conference room, pilot lounge with a pair of snooze rooms, business center, balcony on the second floor with panoramic views of the airport, and “Alexi’s at the Airport,” a full-service restaurant slated to open later this year.
Part of a major airport construction project started in late 2023, the new development at the Avfuel-branded FBO also includes a 20,000-sq-ft heated hangar that can accommodate aircraft up to a Gulfstream G500. North American Flight Services will retain its former 1960s-era 12,000-sq-ft terminal for use during peak periods, such as race days at the famed Saratoga Race Course.
“We are beyond excited to welcome guests to our beautiful new facility,” said company owner Frank Zilka. “These enhancements were thoughtfully designed with pilots, crews, and passengers in mind, offering the comfort, efficiency, and capabilities today’s aviation professionals expect.”
