Nation’s Newest Heliport Opens in DeSoto, Texas

Set to open this month in the Dallas suburb of DeSoto, Texas, is the nation’s newest helicopter facility, DeSoto Heliport, located in the Eagle Business & Industrial Park.

The $5 million, 19-acre facility is jointly owned by the Texas Department of Transportation, the City of DeSoto and the DeSoto Economic Development Corporation. Sky Helicopters, which also operates the FBO at the Garland/DFW heliport approximately 30 miles away, was awarded a 60-year lease to manage the facility and the company spent approximately 70 percent of the cost of the heliport in building the terminal, hangars and ramp.
