Key Air Twin Cities: The Destination for the RNC, Now the Destination for You

Sep 24, 2008 9:55 AM

Key Air Twin Cities at ANE opened its doors in grand fashion Labor Day weekend as Key Air, LLC’s newest marquee facility, provided Republican National Convention (RNC) goers a true luxurious welcome.

Key Air Twin Cities’ debut was a remarkable one - with acres of sparkling hangar space and full FBO services ready and waiting, the stage was set for a remarkable inaugural week. By the first day of the RNC, Key Air had scheduled more than 60 aircraft to land at its new FBO. More than 25,000 gallons of fuel were pumped as taxiing, fueling and flight coordination was only the start of the appeal. Private lounges, concierge services and gourmet dining also awaited passengers and crews.

“We are extremely pleased and encouraged by the feedback and activity at our newest location in Minnesota,” said Brad Kost, Key Air’s President and CEO. “It is a luxurious yet comfortable facility that offers Metropolitan finishes and levels of service in a much more efficient environment.”

With heightened security surrounding private jet travel and strict restrictions in place for other area airports (MSP and STP), ANE became the destination for the RNC. Only a 15-minute car ride to downtown Minneapolis, yet just outside the 10-mile TFRs – Key Air Twin Cities was perfectly placed for convention goers. Also, without having to file for a slot and the ability to avoid the other inconveniences of the Gateway System, Key Air Twin Cities was primed to support the massive amount of convention travel.

The new state-of-the-art terminal and business center comes complete with all luxurious amenities including private lounges and concierge services.
