Flexjet has broken ground for its newest Flexjet exclusive private terminal at the Scottsdale, Arizona Airport (KSDL) opening in late 2026.
The groundbreaking signals the start of this ground-up custom build a US$36 million facility, with a 9,000 square-foot customer terminal, 9,500 square feet of office space and another 34,000 square feet in maintenance hangar space.
The facility will take design cues from Flexjet’s global headquarters in Cleveland, Ohio, showcasing a contemporary aesthetic with a sleek exterior and expansive windows that flood the space with natural light.
The Scottsdale facility will offer a 2,400 square foot outdoor terrace for Flexjet passengers to enjoy.
This facility will also be an exclusive lounge for Flexjet aircraft owners and their travel guests, fostering a seamless ground-to-air experience.
Flexjet Technical Services, Flexjet’s in-house maintenance and product support team, will also have a presence at this new facility.
“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 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 percent 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.”
“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,” said Jeff Foland, chief executive officer of Atlantic Aviation. “Together, we’re delivering outstanding hospitality and operational excellence that meets the evolving needs of today’s most discerning travelers.”
Scottsdale will become one of Flexjet’s Exclusive Private Terminals, which are already operating at Teterboro (KTEB), White Plains (KHPN), Dallas Love Field (KDAL), Naples, Fla. (KAPF) and Van Nuys (KVNY) in the Greater Los Angeles market.
Additional private terminals are in various stages of their development in Bozeman, Mont. (KBZN), Palm Beach (KPBI) and Miami, Fla. (KOPF) as well as Las Vegas, Nev. (KLAS).
