An interesting aviation tidbit...

Wiley Post Airport is builing a 33,000 square-foot FBO (fixed based operator) facility for JetSet.

Wiley Post is a small regional airport located about 7 miles northwest of downtown OKC.

Here's a rendering for the new facility:

From a Velocity article:
Quote:
...the FBO's terminal will offer 12,000 square feet of customer and office space.

JetSet will have a passenger lounge, conference room, pilot lounge with snooze rooms and shower facilities, and a refreshment bar.
The adjoining hangar will offer 28,000 sq ft of aircraft storage, capable of sheltering the latest big business jets.

A second phase of construction consisting of an additional 50,000-sq-ft hangar is also planned.

“Wiley Post is a popular location for charter flights traveling across the country to refuel because of its central location and proximity to major cities in the region,” said Happy Wells, founder of JetSet in a press release.

This is expected to be finished sometime next year.

This is the third FBO for Wiley Post Airport.
The other two are for Valair Aviation and Atlantic Aviation.
