Million Air Dallas will unveil a dedicated customs ramp at its Addison Airport (KADS) facility next month. Dubbed Million Air Dallas International Services, the ramp connects to the airport’s U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) facility in the KADS administration building.
Construction <a href="https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/business-aviation/2024-08-16/million-air-dallas-expand-addison-airport-ramp">began</a> in August and added 61,973 sq ft, increasing the location’s total ramp area to more than 360,000 sq ft. The new space will be dedicated to the FBO’s international guests and will allow it to provide exclusive plane-side vehicle access directly adjacent to the CBP office.
After clearing customs, guests will be greeted by Million Air's international handling team, which will offload their baggage into waiting vehicles. The aircraft will then be towed to the service provider’s main ramp or a hangar for parking, eliminating the need for another engine start cycle.
“We value our relationship with Addison Airport management, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and appreciate their collaboration on this renovation,” said Million Air Dallas president and CEO Don Rickenhauser. “The ramp’s completion will enhance service quality and operational efficiency for international travelers, providing a world-class experience for those visiting Addison.”

New developments at FBOs including regulations and noise issues; legal disputes; openings, acquisitions and mergers.
