DETROIT, Michigan — Avflight has broken ground on its new FBO at Coleman A. Young Municipal Airport (KDET).
The multimillion-dollar project includes a 5,000-square-foot FBO terminal, a 20,000-square-foot heated hangar, and an attached 1,440-square-foot parking garage.
The project builds on the momentum of city-led improvements to KDET, including a recently completed $3.5 million runway renovation, LED taxi lighting upgrades, and upcoming investments, such as ramp pavement improvements, a new engineered material arresting system, a new control tower (planned for 2026), airport beautification efforts, upgraded snow removal equipment, and expanded educational partnerships aimed at fostering aviation careers among Detroit youth, according to Avflight officials.
Avflight, which has operated at KDET since 2011, plans to double its staff at the new facility, expand service offerings, and foster new educational opportunities on the airfield, company officials added.
