Million Air mobile outlines five-year plan
Emily and Arve Henriksen initially expected to open their Million Air franchise at Mobile (Ala.) Regional Airport (MOB) last year.

Emily and Arve Henriksen initially expected to open their Million Air franchise at Mobile (Ala.) Regional Airport (MOB) last year. “We anticipated a six-month wait negotiating the terms of the lease and up to a year for construction,” said CFO Emily. “It was a lot more difficult than we realized.”

Million Air Mobile finally opened this past June after completing the $2 million first phase of its construction program. Phase two is expected to be completed either this month or next. With a 25-yr lease at MOB, the Henriksens expect to pump more than three million gallons of Phillips 66-branded jet-A and avgas by year-end, including the fuel sold through the Phillips 66 Into-Plane program. Jet fuel constitutes some 85 percent of fuel sales for Million Air Mobile, with 85 percent of sales to transient customers.
