Avflight Opens New Motor City FBO
It’s the first new facility on the field in six decades
New Avflight FBO at KDET
Avflight has replaced its 1950s-vintage terminal at Detroit’s Coleman A. Young International Airport with a brand-new facility.

Avflight has inaugurated its new FBO at Detroit Coleman A. Young International Airport (KDET) with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. The Avfuel sister company—the lone service provider on the field—has had a presence at KDET since 2011, previously occupying 3,500 sq ft of space in the airport’s 53,000-sq-ft 1950s-era former commercial aviation terminal. That building will reopen this fall as Detroit’s Davis Aerospace Technical High School.

The new complex offers a 5,000-sq-ft terminal featuring an open-concept lobby with a fireplace, pilot lounge, two snooze rooms, a six-seat conference room, and private tenant offices. It also includes a 20,000-sq-ft heated hangar capable of sheltering the latest ultra-long-range business jets—bringing the location up to 44,000 sq ft of aircraft shelter—and an attached 1,400-sq-ft heated indoor vehicle parking garage.
