The GA terminal is the airport’s only Fixed Base Operator (FBO). An FBO is the primary provider of support services to general aviation operators (private aircraft). The airport’s FBO provides fueling, deicing, tie-down and parking, flight planning, meeting space, pilot amenities, and is open 24 hours a day. The GA terminal is the front door of the airport to pilots, owners, and passengers of private aircraft – including VIPs such as politicians, businesspeople, and entertainers. The goal of the Project is for the GA terminal to reflect the Airport’s mission to be the premier Midwest airport through exceptional service and safety. The airport contracted with Dake Wells Architecture and Nabholz Construction for a complete remodel of the existing building and an expansion which nearly doubled the square footage. The total budget of the project is approximately 6 million dollars. The improved amenities of the project include updated restrooms, expansion of the current administration area and pilot lounge, the addition of a designated work area for line service employees, and a large public community room. In addition, the project includes an enhanced lounge area to be used by employees and visitors. Plans for this lounge include an upscale micro market.
