Flagler Executive Airport will break ground on its new General Aviation Terminal – a project 5 years in the making – at 10 a.m. Tuesday (April 29).
“We essentially have a brand-new airport,” said Airport Director Roy Sieger. “The General Aviation Terminal will be the capstone project for the transition from a rural landing strip to an executive airport and will be a grand gateway to our community.”
The 15,500-square-foot facility will accommodate the airport administrative offices, the Fixed Base Operator space that provides services to our visitors and tenants, its appurtenant facilities, public space, meeting space, and restroom facilities. It replaces the current 40-year-old terminal building.
“Flagler Executive Airport has undergone a complete transformation over the past 16 years starting with the addition of the Air Traffic Control Tower,” Sieger said. “All runways and taxiways have been reconstructed. Every runway and taxiway light has been upgraded to LED lighting, as well as all the airport guidance signs.”
The ceremony will be held at the Flagler Executive Airport, 201 Airport Road, Palm Coast. The public is welcome to attend.

Frontier tried the whole EAS in St. Aug, lasted about 2 minutes before they pulled out. Don’t give your hopes up, you’ll be looking afar from Hijackers at ERAU students and the occasional Netjets coming into KFIN for a while.
