The city of McKinney, Texas, opened a new 17,000-sq-ft terminal at its municipal-run FBO on McKinney National Airport (KTKI), it announced today. According to city officials, the McKinney Air Center terminal is part of a larger effort to expand and modernize the airport and attract additional business.
“This FBO terminal will help us compete with other world-class facilities that are vying for the lucrative dollars generated by the many corporate fleets pouring into Collin County and the larger Dallas area,” said McKinney mayor George Fuller. “Facilities like this will continue to increase the airport’s value as an economic driver in our region.”
Featuring a modern, open design, the terminal includes amenities such as a conference room, pilot lounge, refreshment center, and a passenger waiting area. It accompanies investments the city has also made in hangars and runway expansions as part of a long-term master plan approved in 2018.
“The city of McKinney is committed to making McKinney National Airport a premier destination for corporate and general aviation,” said airport director Ken Carley. “With the opening of the new FBO terminal, the city is well on its way to achieving that goal.”
