Million Air Van Nuys (VNY), Calif., still awaiting final approval to begin construction on its permanent facility upgrade, has completed a $750,000 interim renovation project. Harold Lee, president of Million Air Van Nuys and its sister operation Million Air Burbank, said, “While we wait to start construction of our new hangar and office project, we decided it was time to upgrade our existing FBO for our customers. Since it will be next spring before we start our construction, we decided to turn what we have into something nice in the meantime.”
The FBO has been operating from temporary buildings since shortly after it lost its 5,500-sq-ft glass terminal building in the Northridge earthquake in January 1994. Lee said he has been waiting since then for approval to build a new terminal building and 13 corporate jet hangars, but has been held up by various city-imposed construction moratoriums.
