transportation in McKinney and Collin County.
The purpose of this update will be to respond to significant events that have had an impact on the operations of McKinney
National Airport and McKinney Air Center. These impacts include: increased demand for hangars, aircraft and auto parking, an
expanded general aviation passenger terminal operated by McKinney Air Center with rental car counters, scheduled passenger
air charter ticket counters and an expanded U.S Customs office. We hope that the plan will also include plans for an attached
restaurant (financed and operated by others). The significant drivers for change at McKinney National Airport include the
following:
A business model supported by new city leadership.
Effect of the Wright Amendment on business aviation activity at McKinney National Airport, Love Field and Addison Airport.
Need to acquire land adjacent to the airport and realization that with the surge in the economy, adjacent land could sell to
developers that might bring unwanted airport encroachment.
Effect of the city’s acquisition and operation of the (McKinney Air Center (FBO) and facilities.
MASTER PLAN PROCESS
The Master Plan process will bring people together to plan for the future of county-wide air transportation. The process will
naturally promote the airport through media outlets and the airport website.
