The Air Group broke ground Monday on its new jet terminal and headquarters at Van Nuys Airport, the company announced. The 86,000-square-foot hangar and maintenance department space and the 12,000 square feet of office space opens in the summer and will be the largest of The Air Group’s U.S. operating locations. The facility will house the company’s aircraft acquisition, management, charter, client services, dispatch, and maintenance staff. The expansion in Van Nuys as well as a new East Coast terminal and operations complex at Teterboro, N.J., Airport to open in March is necessary to accommodate new business, said The Air Group CEO Jon Winthrop in a statement. “Together, these two new complexes will allow us to offer the absolute latest in efficiency and security, as well as convenient and comfortable accommodations for our clients on both coasts,” Winthrop said. The Van Nuys facility is being constructed by Aerolease Associates, LLC.
