Even More Improvements On The Horizon
Wilson Air Center is
pleased to announce that the Charlotte, NC location is now open for
business and fully operational. Wilson Air Center was chosen by the
Charlotte Douglas International Airport to manage the existing
facility on the field (CLT). The official opening date under the
Wilson Air Center name was February 1, 2005.
With the facility officially up and running, immediate plans for
extensive upgrades are proceeding on schedule. A complete
renovation of the 20,000 sq. ft. terminal building will begin this
spring. The new terminal will be an elegant corporate atmosphere
similar to Wilson Air Center - Memphis. Plans include a 2,500 sq.
ft. private VIP lobby, complete with private bathrooms, a kitchen
facility and state of the art facilities for meetings and press
conferences. Additionally, the main facility will be expanded with
an additional 10,000 sq. ft. two-story office space.
Further plans include the construction of a 240' x 50'
all-weather aircraft arrival canopy, a feature originally made
famous at the company's Memphis location. Full time concierges and
ramp van drivers have already been added to deliver passengers and
crews to their aircraft. The improvements are scheduled to be
completed in Spring of 2006.
The 35-acre facility that bears the Wilson Air Center name at
Charlotte/Douglas International Airport features more than 25 acres
of ramp space. Additionally, there is more than 230,000 sq. ft. of
private, shade and T-Hangar facilities available for aircraft
parking and storage.
"We are extremely pleased to have had such a smooth transition
at Charlotte. The reception we have received from customers at the
new location has been nothing short of phenomenal. With award
winning service already in place, the completion of extensive
improvement plans will only solidify Wilson Air Center's place as
the premier FBO at Charlotte/Douglas International Airport," said
Dave Ivey, Vice President, Wilson Air Center.
It is important to note that as the final transition was taking
place, many flight planning references such as AOPA Airport's USA
and Pilot's Express had already gone to press featuring an outdated
telephone number for the facility. The correct telephone number for
Wilson Air Center - Charlotte is 704-359-0440.
Wilson Air Center in Memphis is the home of one of the world's
largest aircraft canopies, and is touted by the aviation industry
as among the top fixed base operations in the United States for the
quality of its services and the comfort and design of its
facilities.
