NetJets to Build New Terminal and Hangar at Dallas Love Field for USD 35 Million
Why It MattersFractional operators are increasingly investing directly in dedicated ground infrastructure at key airports, signaling that owned facilities are becoming a competitive differentiator alongside fleet size.
What happened
NetJets plans to build a new terminal and hangar at Dallas Love Field, in a project estimated to cost USD 35 million. Construction is expected to begin in November 2026 and be completed by May 2028.
The project will proceed in three phases. The first phase involves the demolition of six existing hangars and a terminal building. The second phase covers construction of the new terminal. The third phase encompasses the new hangar and other campus-area developments.
Industry impact & what to watch
This kind of ground-up facility replacement reflects a broader trend among fractional and charter operators to secure dedicated terminal and hangar space at strategically important airports rather than relying solely on third-party FBO services. Owning purpose-built infrastructure gives an operator more control over turnaround times, crew scheduling, and passenger experience, which matters in a segment where reliability and speed are core to the value proposition.
The phased approach, demolition first, then terminal, then hangar and campus work, means the airport will operate through a multi-year construction period, so continuity of existing service during transition phases is worth tracking. The next milestone to watch is the start of demolition in November 2026, followed by the terminal phase, with full completion targeted for May 2028.
