Million Air Dallas has broken ground on a new ramp at Addison airport in Dallas, Texas designed to streamline travellers' US Customs clearance process. Spanning nearly three acres, the ramp will seamlessly connect the existing US Customs ramp and a Million Air hangar, resulting in increased capacity to serve international travellers.

The addition will enable Million Air to offer arrivals exclusive, ramp-side vehicle services along with its full line up of premier FBO offerings directly adjacent to US Customs. Furthermore, operators using the complimentary US Customs service will eliminate an engine cycle, resulting in cost savings and faster, more efficient turnarounds. Following service, aircraft will be towed from the US Customs area and either be prepared for departure or moved to a designated hangar.

“This project represents an expansion of Million Air's nationally recognised service to the US Customs ramp, enhancing both service quality and operational efficiency for international aircraft arriving to Addison,” says Jeff Zimmerman, vice president of FBO services.

President and CEO Don Rickerhauser adds: “Our strong relationships with Addison airport management and US Customs and Border Protection are vital. We are proud to contribute to the exceptional value the airport brings to the Addison community through this shared goal.”

The new ramp is slated for completion in September and will begin operation immediately.
