Aviation services provider Jet Access has broken ground on an FBO at John C. Tune Airport (KJWN) in Nashville, Tennessee, with completion expected by year-end. The facility will be the second FBO at KJWN and the company’s second in the Nashville area, joining its location at Music City Executive Airport (KXNX) in Gallatin.
The complex will include a 3,000-sq-ft terminal with executive lounge, private offices, conference room, and refreshment bar, along with an adjoining 22,000-sq-ft hangar capable of housing ultra-long-range business jets.
KJWN features a 6,000-foot main runway and is a gateway to one of the nation’s fastest-growing areas. For the company, the new FBO will be its ninth location in the U.S.
“Nashville represents a strategic home market for Jet Access, and we’re proud to lead the industry as the only company operating across all five major business aviation verticals: maintenance, charter, management, FBOs, and aircraft brokerage,” said company CEO Quinn Ricker. “Establishing our presence at [KJWN] is more than expanding our footprint—it’s about creating an exceptional experience for our clients and partners.”

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