A private terminal in Scottsdale, Arizona for Flexjet customers is set to open in late 2026.
Flexjet has broken ground for a private terminal at the Scottsdale Airport in Arizona.
The planned opening is in late 2026.
The cost of the custom-built facility is $36 million.
There will be a 9,000-square-foot customer terminal, 9,500 square feet of office space, and another 34,000 square feet of maintenance hangar space.
The facility will take design cues from Flexjet’s global headquarters in Cleveland, Ohio.
It will feature a contemporary aesthetic, a sleek exterior, and expansive windows that flood the space with natural light.
The Scottsdale facility will offer a scenic backdrop of the McDowell Mountains and a 2,400 square foot outdoor terrace for Flexjet passengers to enjoy the views.
Central to the project will also be an exclusive lounge for Flexjet fractional owners and their travel guests.
Flexjet Technical Services, Flexjet’s in-house maintenance and product support team, will also be present at this new facility and provide ongoing, rapid assistance both on and off the aircraft.
Chairman Kenn Ricci says, “Decades ago, I fell in love with this area and have since made it my home for a good portion of each year. It seems I was not the only one, as Scottsdale’s ultra-high net worth population has grown by nearly 90 percent in just the last 10 years.”
Ricci adds, “Over that same period, private jet travel activity at this airport has grown by more than 50 percent and Flexjet traffic at this airport has doubled since 2000, making it our top 10 most popular airport.”
Flexjet is the second-largest fractional/charter operator in North America.
SDL is ranked as the 11th-busiest U.S. airport for private jet flights.
Amenities will include:
Atlantic Aviation CEO Jeff Foland adds, “We’re delighted to partner with Flexjet on this remarkable new facility in Scottsdale, a city that continues to be a cornerstone of business aviation in the Southwest.”
He adds, “Together, we’re delivering outstanding hospitality and operational excellence that meets the evolving needs of today’s most discerning travelers.”
Other Flexjet exclusive terminals are located in the Greater Los Angeles market at Teterboro (KTEB), White Plains (KHPN), Dallas Love Field (KDAL), Naples, Fla. (KAPF), and Van Nuys (KVNY).
Additional private terminals are in various stages of development in Bozeman, Mont. (KBZN), Palm Beach (KPBI), Miami, Fla. (KOPF), and Las Vegas, Nev. (KLAS).
In the U.K., Flexjet’s Exclusive Private Terminal, office space, and maintenance hangar are slated to open in 2026 at Farnborough Airport (EGLF), Europe’s leading airport for premium air travel connectivity.
