Jul 14, 2010 2:09 PM

Million Air celebrated the opening of the franchised fixed-base operator (FBO), Million Air Moses Lake, located at the Grant County International Airport. The FBO, which is owned by FREEMAN HOLDINGS OF WASHINGTON, LLC, joined the Million Air network on July 1, 2009. After $1,300,000 in renovations, Million Air hosted a grand opening celebration on Saturday, July 10, to introduce the Million Air brand to the Moses Lake market.

More than 200 people, including current and potential Million Air customers, gathered to learn about Million Air’s service offerings and tour the remodeled FBO. Among the renovations include a new, state-of-the-art theater room, as well as a remodeled main terminal lobby and corporate lounge.

“Freeman Holdings is pleased to add Million Air Moses Lake to its family of FBO’s”, said Chris Freeman, Managing Member of FREEMAN HOLDINGS OF WASHINGTON, LLC.

“Its Northwest location gives us a presence where we were currently not represented and its long runways, extensive ramp area and hydrant jet refueling system are ideal for the large military and commercial aircraft that we have the experience of servicing,” said Scott Freeman, CEO of FREEMAN HOLDINGS OF WASHINGTON, LLC.

The FBO officially opened in 2009 and has developed a loyal customer base, especially among large military aircraft and Boeing commercial aircraft flight test operations which recently included the 787 Dreamliner and 747-8F Super Freighter. Catering to those who serve our nation, the staff are ready to assist from troop movements to acting as a relief base to hosting training exercises such as Operational Rediness exercises and Air Mobility Rodeo. The overall facility encompasses more than 70 acres of ramp space with five runways with the longest being 13,500 feet. Million Air Moses Lake’s offices are housed in the main terminal building, which measures 4,700 square feet and includes a Jet-a-way Café for passengers and crew to enjoy a home cooked meal.

Million Air, one of the largest aviation service companies in the world, provides FBO services to upscale private charter customers. Headquartered in Houston, the company operates a network of 27 FBO locations in the United States, Canada and the Caribbean. The Moses Lake facility is located at 7810 Andrews Street, Suite 134.
