Milwaukee-based private jet co-ownership and charter company
Jet OUT announced Friday that it plans to build a 22,000 square foot private terminal at
Waukesha County Airport (Crites Field).
This development is following the opening of an
$11 million fixed-base operator (FBO) complex at Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport in April of 2023 from sister company, Jet IN.
While the Waukesha County Airport project will be smaller than the existing terminal at Mitchell International Airport, this terminal will garner more business for the company as it will exclusively be used by Jet OUT aircraft and employees, according to
Gordon Cameron, vice president of revenue for Jet OUT.
“We hope this is a path to growing,” said Cameron.
The new private Waukesha terminal for Jet OUT is expected to be completed in the first half of 2025.
“By prioritizing operational efficiencies in the facility’s design, we can achieve environmental sustainability while reducing costs,” said
Matt Wild, chief operating officer of Jet OUT. “From energy-efficient heating and cooling systems to thoughtful layouts that streamline your journey through the terminal, our goal is to provide a more comfortable, convenient, and sustainable private aviation experience.”
Jet OUT will utilize Waukesha-based architecture firm
TDI Associates for the design as well as
KB Walker,
Absolute Concrete, and
Schmitz Ready Mix for other design and construction purposes. The terminal will also feature meeting spaces, a kitchen, a bar, a game room, and a lounge area, according to a press release.
In addition to the upcoming Waukesha facility, Jet OUT also plans to build out its existing Jet IN terminal in South Florida, its first terminal outside of the Midwest. The Florida base will feature two brand-new Cessna Citation CJ4 Gen 2 aircraft.
