August 13, 20204 yr On 7/17/2020 at 3:16 PM, Dougal said: Flexjet, an international avaition fractional-ownership and business charter company, part of Kenn Ricci's aviation conglomerate, is building a new/expanded operations center at the county airport. 200 new jobs are predicted. The article doesn't say so, but I believe the jobs will be coming mostly from the Dallas area, where Flexjet had its ops center when Bombardier owned it. Ricci's companies are all privately-owned so they aren't required to say much, and they don't; but this is pretty big news - bigger than cleveland.com is making it. I believe Flexjet is ranked number two in the industry to Netjets, a Buffet company in Columbus. https://www.cleveland.com/community/2020/07/flexjet-is-planning-to-make-richmond-heights-location-at-county-airport-its-global-operations-center-belle-oaks-nca-holds-first-meetings.html And now there is a rendering in this Cleveland.com story !
August 13, 20204 yr Pretty snazzy Opcon center. It could function just as well underground in a bunker; but why not have a little fun? ? Remember: It's the Year of the Snake
August 13, 20204 yr It's strange, but I was at the Jet Center next door last week and there were no cars in the Flexjet parking lot in the middle of the day. Is the location currently closed pending construction of the new facility?
August 25, 20231 yr Construction of new terminal at one of region's largest airports underway One of the region's largest airports is in the midst of building a new terminal. The nearly $2 million project, according to officials, is an "entryway to many benefits." Construction of a new terminal at Darke County Airport in Versailles is underway, Scott Naas, the airport manager, told the Dayton Business Journal in an email. The terminal will sit at just over 3,500 square feet, according to Naas, and cost $1.9 million. Though Naas didn't provide specifics, he said the new terminal would bring "many new accommodations."

September 13, 20231 yr Another nice development from Flexjet, they have announced their intention to do all maintenance in-house. Sometimes the relationships among Kenn Ricci's aviation interests are complicated, but basically I believe Flexjet now owns Constant Aviation and will cycle all its planes (currently creeping up on 300) through Constant facilitiies at Cuyahoga County Airport, CLE, and Orlando. That means more hiring. 🙂 Remember: It's the Year of the Snake
September 13, 20231 yr Real cool - did not know about this. https://www.flexjet.com/press/flexjet-opens-futuristic-50-million-global-headquarters-in-cleveland/

This was built for the anticipated growth coming from the Intel development. The site currently has 79 planes in hangars with an additional 67 on a waiting list. That essentially doubles what is on site...that would be a significant development!!
