Flexjet breaks ground on Scottsdale terminal
Flexjet yesterday broke ground on its newest private terminal at Scottsdale Airport in Arizona.
Due to open in late 2026, the $36m facility will feature a 9,000sqft customer terminal, 9,500sqft of office space and another 34,000sqft in maintenance hangar space.
“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% in just the last ten years,” said Kenn Ricci, chairman of Flexjet.
“Over that same period, private jet travel activity at this airport has grown by more than 50% and Flexjet traffic at this airport has doubled since 2000, making it our top 10 most popular airport. As we build the fractional industry’s largest network of provider-exclusive private terminals, I couldn’t be more excited to truly plant the Flexjet flag in such a meaningful location.”
The Scottsdale facility will also offer a scenic backdrop of the McDowell Mountains and a 2,400sqft outdoor terrace for Flexjet passengers. This facility will also act as a lounge for Flexjet aircraft owners and their travel guests. Flexjet Technical Services will also have a presence.
Jeff Foland, CEO of Atlantic Aviation, said: “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. Together, we’re delivering outstanding hospitality and operational excellence that meets the evolving needs of today’s most discerning travellers.”
Scottsdale will become one of Flexjet’s private terminals, which are already operating across the US at Teterboro, White Plains, Dallas Love Field, Naples and Van Nuys. Additional private terminals are in various stages of their development in Bozeman, Palm Beach and Miami and Las Vegas.
