Arizona’s Scottsdale Airport, which is served by Signature Flight Support and Ross Aviation FBOs, will be receiving a third service provider.

The proprietors of what will be named the Scottsdale Jet Center (SJC) have secured a 40-year lease for more than 14 acres at the airport and expect to break ground next summer on a $24 million FBO complex.

Operators ready for long-promised rebound.

The first phase of the project, which is expected to be completed in mid-2020, will consist of an approximately 10,000-square-foot terminal and a 30,000-square-foot hangar, which can accommodate the latest large business jets. The remaining phases will see the construction of additional hangars with a target date of mid-2025.

The airport has seen strong fuel sales growth over the past few years, according to company partner John Marchman, and the master plan calls for an increase in large-capacity private aviation hangars in the near and long term. SJC’s lease with the city calls for it to construct a minimum of 80,000 square feet of hangar space, less than half of the airport’s projected need over the next decade.
