FBOs
Million Air Exits at Arkansas Airport

Following a dispute with Fayetteville, Ark. airport authority, Million Air quit operating the FBO at Fayetteville Executive/Drake Field Airport last month after eight years at the airport. “We’ve had to take a hard look at all of our locations and maybe rethink some of the markets that we’re in,” Million Air president and CEO Roger Woolsey told AIN, referring to the industry downturn of the past several years. “Fayetteville unfortunately happens to be one of them.”

According to Woolsey, Million Air had been in discussions with the city council over restructuring the terms of the lease (renewed in 2010), but in the end those discussions proved fruitless, and the city decided to take over management of the FBO itself, at a slightly lower staffing level.
