Jet IN has announced plans to break ground on its new facility located at the Milwaukee General Mitchell International airport. An $11 million investment will permit the development of the last greenfield parcel on the airport.

Its facility will provide a full complement of services and amenities, including heated hangars capable of accommodating the largest general aviation aircraft. It says the terminal will incorporate the latest technology advancements and will aim to cater to the needs of both passengers and flight crew.

Sustainability was a priority in the design, incorporating energy efficient heating and cooling technologies, an all electric fleet of aircraft towing equipment and electric crew and courtesy cars. It will be fully compliant with the City of Milwaukee's Green Infrastructure Plan.

The Jet IN facility should open for the public as a full-service fixed-base operator in the spring of 2022. It will also serve as the Milwaukee base of operations for its sister company, Jet Out.

Jet Out is an aircraft co-ownership and charter company. The infrastructure and staff at its Milwaukee facility will play a role in plans to scale its co-ownership programme. Its fleet of aircraft currently completes approximately 1,500 flights per year. It holds an air carrier certificate under 14 CFR part 135.

“Services like those provided by Jet IN and Jet Out are more essential than ever,” says Joseph Crivello, the chief executive officer of Jet IN and Jet Out. “As we continue to adjust to a post-pandemic world, general aviation provides solutions for individuals, entrepreneurs, businesses, sporting teams and other institutions seeking to manage risk and adapt their operations to a new reality.”
