Carlsbad Jet Center opens larger facility
Just 15 minutes from the beaches, businesses, resorts and golf courses of southern California, Carlsbad Jet Center's long awaited new FBO terminal is finally open to customers.
Guests are welcome at the elegant new executive terminal at McClellan-Palomar airport in California.

Carlsbad Jet Center has opened a new executive terminal at McClellan-Palomar airport in Carlsbad, California in a prime location right off the taxiway. The two-story terminal offers more than 10,000 sq ft of space with 4,000 sq ft dedicated to FBO operations, including workspaces and waiting areas, a conference room, refreshment centre and pilot lounge. Designed to evoke the spirit of SoCal, the FBO interior features surfboards and art from local artists. The remaining office space is available for lease.

Formerly the Magellan Aviation operation until January 2019, Carlsbad Jet Center’s office and hangar space now totals more than 190,000 sq ft. The team, under managers Josh and Julia Hochberg, is planning an official grand opening celebration on 30 April. “It’s been a fantastic year of growth in Carlsbad,” said Josh Hochberg. “Everyone has welcomed us with open arms and we are enjoying working with our customers to elevate their experience at the airport.”
