Dallas Love Field Fixed Base Operator Increases Hangar Space By
Nearly 25%
Business Jet Center has completed a $5 million expansion project
at Dallas Love Field. A new hangar and adjoining office space,
collectively called "Hangar B" by the company, increases the fixed
base operator's total square footage of hangar and office space at
the airport by nearly 25% -- from 178,000 sq. feet to approximately
220,000 sq. feet. The company also increased its ramp space by more
than 65% -- from 9.6 acres to 16 acres. Overall, the FBO now
occupies a total of 24 acres at Dallas Love Field.
According to Stephanie Jordan, general manager for Business Jet
Center, the additional hangar space has already been fully leased
and the company has a waiting list for clients wanting to reserve
space with the company.
"Our growth in Dallas has been nothing short of amazing. It's
certainly a testament to our unwavering commitment to excellent
customer service and amenities that set us apart from the rest of
the industry," adds Jordan. "We are very thankful to our clients
for their loyalty to the Business Jet Center."
Business Jet Center was recently recognized as one of the top
fixed base operators (FBO) by Aviation International News, a
prominent aviation industry trade publication. Business Jet Center
was ranked 4th best FBO in North, Central and South America on the
publication's 2004 "Top 30 FBOs" survey of readers.
The opening of Hangar B and additional ramp space is part of a
continued growth plan for the company, which expanded to the West
Coast with operations at the Oakland International Airport in late
2003. The company, which currently operates out of a temporary
facility in Oakland, is nearly finished with a $4 million
renovation of the airport's original terminal, which will be used
by the FBO as its executive terminal upon completion in Fall
2004.
