Construction activities are now underway on Atlantic Aviation’s executive FBO terminal at John C Tune airport. Located just eight miles west of downtown Nashville, the airport serves as a gateway for general aviation and an increasingly important complement to Nashville International airport, both of which are owned and operated by the Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority. Completion is anticipated in late 2027.

CEO Jeff Foland says: “Nashville continues to be one of the most dynamic markets in the country, and this investment reflects our long-term commitment to supporting the region’s growth with aviation infrastructure, exceptional service and expanded access for business aviation customers.”

The development will include a 7,500sq ft executive FBO terminal, a 37,000sq ft hangar and office complex capable of accommodating a full range of business aviation aircraft, and approximately 175,000sq ft of ramp space. Additional infrastructure will include a 60,000 gallon Jet-A fuel farm, 12,000 gallons of 100LL fuel capacity and a dedicated de-icing pad.

In alignment with Atlantic’s long-standing commitment to sustainability, the project will incorporate environmentally responsible design and construction practices, including LEED-focused elements, efficient building systems and strategies to minimise construction waste.

“John C Tune airport plays a vital role in supporting the region’s growing general aviation community, and Atlantic Aviation’s expansion marks a major step forward in strengthening that access for the Nashville area,” says Doug Kreulen, president and CEO of the Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority. “By bringing world-class facilities and services here, Atlantic Aviation is helping us position the airport for long-term success, and we’re excited for the expanded opportunities this investment will create for our customers and for Middle Tennessee.”

Atlantic has assembled a proven team of industry partners to bring the project to life. New York aviation consulting firm Margulies Hoelzli Architecture serves as the project architect, continuing its collaboration with Atlantic on several developments across the US. Benesch will serve as civil engineer, leading site grading, utilities and paving design. PRO Building Systems of Atlanta has been selected as the general contractor, bringing extensive experience from prior Atlantic projects, including Nashville International airport. The fuel farm will be designed and constructed by American Environmental Aviation, a long-time partner on numerous Atlantic locations nationwide.
