Million Air broke ground yesterday on the Phase II expansion of its FBO at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (KAUS) in Texas. The FBO—one of three on the field—opened in 2019.

This second $50 million phase—scheduled for completion in second-quarter 2026—will add a trio of 40,000-sq-ft hangars capable of handling the latest ultra-long-range business jets. This will bring the facility to more than 241,000 sq ft of aircraft shelter and double the ramp to 19 acres. A company executive told AIN that if the facility had another 100,000 sq ft of hangar space today, it would already be fully occupied based on current demand.

The project also will include a 15,600-sq-ft office building for tenants, two new staffed 7,300-sq-ft, two-story departure lounges sandwiched between the new hangars, and four additional parking lots (one valet served) to accommodate up to 233 vehicles. This is in addition to the existing 15,000-sq-ft terminal and its slate of upscale amenities including a complementary barista-staffed coffee bar, upstairs sky lounge, and exterior wrap-around balcony offering airfield views.

“We believe in Austin and its growth into a top national and international business and entertainment destination,” said company CEO Roger Woolsey. “We see ourselves as the front door and first impression of Austin for those arriving in private aircraft. With the many corporations relocating their headquarters to Austin and a steady influx of visitors drawn to the city’s thriving entertainment scene, we are proud to set the standard for excellence in private aviation.”
