JetAccess will take two hangars and office space as part of a $20 million project to expand at Dallas Executive Airport.
Developer Rodney Burchfield broke ground Tuesday on the estimated $20 million project that he hopes will spur development at the underutilized Dallas Executive Airport, six miles south of downtown and formerly known as Redbird Airport.
The project is expected to be finished in late 2023 and will have one hangar as a fixed-based operator location and another for maintenance, said JetAccess chief operating officer Jesse Klemme.“This is an airfield with significant potential,” said JetAccess CEO Quinn Ricker. “Dallas is No. 3 in the entire country for registered aircraft and this airport has better access to downtown than any other.
JetAccess, which already has a facility on the north side of the airport, will use the space to store and maintain corporate and private jets, maintain its fleet of 40 aircraft and run flight services for charter companies. JetAccess also partners with four flight schools to train about 400 students and the new facilities will expand the number of students it can host, Ricker said.
JetAccess isn’t sure yet if it will keep its hangars on the other side of the airport when the new facility opens, Ricker said.that was approved by Dallas City Council in early 2018After that, Burchfield said several potential tenants pulled out of the deal, including the first announced tenant, RBR Maintenance., who spent 11 years as a professional basketball player, as an investment partner. Burchfield said Moore is a relative.
