South Dakota FBO Unveils New Facility
The location is home to approximately 14 turbine-powered aircraft ranging from a Citation V to a Meridian.


Westjet Air Center, the only full-service FBO at South Dakota’s Rapid City Regional Airport (RAP), held the grand opening for its new facility. With a stone exterior and copper ceilings, the 5,000-sq-ft terminal included in the $1 million-plus project is designed to resemble a luxury home or hotel. The facility offers a flight-planning center, pilots’ lounge with a pair of snooze rooms, conference room and a children’s play room. Westjet has an agreement in place with a local gym to provide day passes to crewmembers. The company is also in the process of renovating its adjoining 6,000-sq-ft former terminal, part of a hangar, which contains offices and meeting space.
