Atlantic Aviation (Booth No. N4500) has announced it will embark on a $15 million development plan for its two Houston-area FBOs. At its flagship Houston Hobby Airport location, the company will build a new 16,000-sq-ft terminal, which will replace its current 1972 vintage structure, one of the original Atlantic FBOs. 
  
In addition, the services provider will level one of its current hangars to add 60,000-sq-ft of ramp space. The storage space will be replaced with a pair of new 32,000-sq-ft hangars, bringing available hangar space up to 100,000-sq-ft. The project, which is expected to last 18 months, is set to kick off by the middle of next year. 
  
The facility at George Bush Intercontinental Airport, which dates back to the late 1970s, is slated to receive a $1.5 million makeover that will bring it line with Atlantic’s current design theme, using more wood and stone as well as improving functionality and customer flow. That renovation is due to be completed by the third quarter of 2014.
