Million Air breaks ground for new facility at Charleston International

Million Air, the upscale provider of private aviation services, will break ground today on a new facility at Charleston International Airport.

The facility, a fix-based operation in airport parlance, will include a passenger terminal and a spacious hanger. It will be located next to longtime airport tenant Corporate Wings on South Aviation Avenue.

Among its amenities will be meeting rooms and offices for business travelers, what the company bills as a “technologically advanced conference room,” an atrium lobby with two flat-screen televisions and a Wild Bean Coffee bar, with wireless Internet service throughout.

Million Air will also have Hertz rental cars available onsite and provide its customers with Jaguar crew vehicles.

A fixed-based operation is essentially a refueling facility that offers a variety of other aviation-related services. The new Charleston facility will provide these services and fuel sales to pilots 24 hours a day.

Million Air currently delivers general aviation through a chain of 31 separate franchises across the United States, Canada and the Caribbean.

The Cincinnati-based group that will own and operate Million Air Charleston also operates locations in: Asheville, N.C.; Cincinnati; Columbus, Ohio; Chicago; Lafayette, La.; and New Orleans.
