Atlantic Aviation said Aug. 25 that construction has started on a new terminal it plans to open next year at John C. Tune Airport in Nashville, Tennessee.
Atlantic’s new fixed-base operation (FBO) development includes a 7,500-ft.2 terminal building, 37,000-ft.2 hangar and office complex, and 175,000-ft.2 of ramp space. Additional infrastructure will include a 60,000-gal. Jet-A fuel farm, 12,000 gal. of 100LL fuel capacity for piston aircraft, and a dedicated deicing pad.
Located 8 mi. west of downtown Nashville, John C. Tune Airport (JWN) is one of Tennessee’s busiest general aviation airports and serves as a reliever airfield for Nashville International Airport (BNA). The Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority operates both airports.
Plano, Texas-based Atlantic Aviation is building the FBO facility at JWN following a competitive request for proposals. The new facility complements Atlantic’s FBO at BNA, which opened in August 2024.
The JWN project will incorporate environmentally responsible design and construction practices, including Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)-focused elements, efficient building systems, and strategies to minimize construction waste, Atlantic Aviation said. Plans call for the facility to open in late 2027.
“Seeing construction begin at John C. Tune Airport is an exciting milestone for Atlantic Aviation and our partnership with the Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority,” said Atlantic Aviation CEO Jeff Foland. “Nashville continues to be one of the most dynamic markets in the country, and this investment reflects our long-term commitment to supporting the region’s growth with state-of-the-art aviation infrastructure, exceptional service, and expanded access for business aviation customers.”
