LAREDO, Texas – Million Air, a private aviation service provider from Houston, Texas, will establish a fixed base operation (FBO) at the Laredo International Airport, estimated to open in late 2022. On Tuesday, April 19, the Laredo City Council passed a motion to authorize the Interim City Manager to execute lease agreements between the city and 270 Development Group, LLC on a 3.6 acre tract of land that will be subleased to Laredo Aviation Partners, which will conduct business as Million Air, and to construct a concrete fuel containment pad with at least 2 fuel storage tanks with 25,000 gallons each.
This will be the chain’s sixth location in Texas, along with Dallas, Houston, Austin, El Paso, and San Antonio. The facility will include a two-story terminal with a passenger lounge, conference rooms, snooze rooms, and a pilot lounge. According to Aviation International News, the facility will include an “initial” 29,000-sq-ft hangar that plans to accommodate the latest ultra-long-range business jets. The development will also include a 1,000-sq-ft ground service equipment maintenance facility.
“As a top port in air and land, I am excited to welcome a new facility that will provide quality service to aircrafts, personnel, and travelers through Laredo, Texas,” states Interim City Manager, Keith Selman.
