Desert Jet, an FBO and maintenance provider at California’s Jacqueline Cochran Regional Airport (KTRM), has signed an agreement with its landlord, Riverside County, to expand its leasehold by 7.5 acres. This will more than double its existing size.

The company, which has been in operation since 2007, has big plans for that additional real estate with a $20 million expansion on tap. Included in the project is 3.5 acres of additional ramp, which is expected to be completed by year-end, followed by 4,000 sq ft of office and VIP lounge space, and two additional 28,000-sq-ft hangars (the location’s second and third).
