Sheltair Opens its First Texas FBO at Denton Enterprise Airport

 Sheltair Aviation has announced the opening of its first FBO in Texas, at the Denton Enterprise Airport (DTO). This location will be the first in Texas and the second west of the Mississippi.

The new location was given approval for the facility by the Denton Airport authority in November and the center is open and running effective Wednesday. Sheltair announced that it would retain the US Jet Center employees and management team. These team members include the General Manager Jay Robinson, Customer Service Manager Christy Williams and Line Service Manager Ruben Odumes.

“The entire DTO team and I are excited about our transition into the Sheltair family,” Sheltair DTO’s GM Jay Robinson said. “In addition to working extensively with Sheltair during the acquisition, I have flown into many Sheltair locations. My experiences leave no doubt that Sheltair’s acquisition of US Jet Center promises to elevate the personalized service our customers have come to expect, facilitate growth, and continue economic development at Denton Enterprise Airport and Denton County.”

This acquisition will add 280,000 square feet to form an executive FBO terminal, 12 corporate hangars and 42 T-Hangars. This build brings the company’s aviation real estate portfolio to 4.5 million square feet.

Sheltair DTO will offer a range of amenities and services including Hertz rental cars, briefing rooms, first-class concierge services and refreshments.

“I am excited to welcome Sheltair Aviation as our new FBO partner at Denton Enterprise Airport,” DTO Airport Director Scott Gray said. “As a leading FBO in the country, we know our airport users will embrace their professional and high level of customer service. We look forward to working together to enhance the economic growth and expansion of aviation services at the airport.”

Sheltair expanded west in 2018, adding its BJC location in Denver. Sheltair Denton aims to offer customers an additional destination in the Southwestern United States.

“The acquisition of our newest location is a testament to Sheltair’s commitment to expanding west and serving the general aviation market beyond the East Coast,” Sheltair CEO and President Lisa Holland said. “We look forward to supporting the continued economic growth of the Denton community and providing the nation’s leading general aviation services and amenities that are set apart by our award-winning customer service programs.”
