The Kansas City Aviation Department has awarded a lease for the final 20 acres of available, developable land at Kansas City Downtown Airport-Wheeler Field (KMKC) to Airside Innovation Missouri, which will build an FBO on the plot, making it the third full-service provider on the field.

A joint venture between industry consultancy Airside FBO and developer Eastside Innovation, the company will invest $55 million in the FBO complex. The facility will be operated by Kansas City-based Apex Aero Center, a chain of four locations headed by Airside FBO founder Kyle Eiserer, who has decades of experience at KMKC, starting with the former Hangar 10 FBO, which was later acquired by Atlantic Aviation.
