Avflight opens doors to distinctive Traverse City FBO

Avflight Corporation has celebrated the opening of its new, one-of-a-kind FBO facility at Cherry Capital Airport (KTVC) in Traverse City, Michigan.

Designed to reflect the natural beauty and character of Northern Michigan, the 6,000-square-foot facility is the first of its kind for Avflight. The space features exposed wood beams, warm natural finishes, floor-to-ceiling windows, a large gas fireplace and an enclosed outdoor patio, creating an inviting atmosphere for travelers year-round.

“We’re proud to open the doors to a facility that is uniquely Northern Michigan,” said Joe Meszaros, senior vice president of operations for Avflight. “From the design and amenities to the exceptional service our team provides, every detail was thoughtfully considered to create a memorable experience for guests. This investment reflects our commitment to the Traverse City community and our excitement for the future of aviation at Cherry Capital Airport.”

Guests are welcomed through a bright, inviting lobby and enjoy a host of customer-centric amenities, including a comfortable pilot lounge, private sleep rooms, a state-of-the-art conference room with full A/V and seating for six, and a dedicated Moomers ice cream freezer - a favorite among guests.

Guests of the FBO have access to eight existing hangars capable of accommodating aircraft up to a G700. Future plans include construction of private, built-to-suit box hangars offering customizable space for long-term aircraft storage. With direct ramp access and full-service FBO support, the hangars will provide an ideal option for aircraft owners seeking a convenient Northern Michigan base for regional travel and seasonal operations.

Kevin Klein, director and CEO of Cherry Capital Airport, added: “This new facility represents a significant investment in the future of air service in our region. Avflight has created a welcoming, high-quality experience that reflects the spirit of Northern Michigan, and we’re proud to partner with them in continuing to enhance our airport and the community it serves.”

As an Avfuel-branded network location, Avflight Traverse City customers benefit from AVTRIP rewards, competitive Avfuel Contract Fuel prices and transaction ease on all purchases when using the Avfuel Pro Card.
