Long a presence at Manassas Regional Airport, aircraft charter/management and maintenance provider Chantilly Air has received permission to construct a new FBO at the Washington, D.C. gateway, where it will join APP Jet Center and Dulles Aviation in offering ground handling. Construction of its $13 million facility is expected to begin this fall, with an anticipated completion by the end of next year.

Plans call for a three-story 24,000-sq-ft terminal, with the upper two floors dedicated to company and tenant offices. It will include a passenger lounge, conference room, flight planning area, fitness center, and other amenities. The company will also add 60,000 sq ft of heated hangar space, able to accommodate the latest large-cabin business jets, which will bring its total to 80,000 sq ft of aircraft storage at the dedicated general aviation airport.
