NetJets will open three new US private terminals and move into a larger exclusive-use facility at Donald J. Trump International Airport (DJT) in West Palm Beach, the fractional-ownership operator announced on October 12, 2026.

The largest single commitment is Dallas Love Field (DAL), where a NetJets-only complex of 114,000 square feet is scheduled to open in late 2028. The project pairs a private terminal developed with Signature Aviation alongside a second NetJets Service Hub hangar, complementing the maintenance hangar the company opened at Dallas in 2021.

At Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD), NetJets will convert the first and second floors of an existing three-story Signature Aviation unit into more than 14,000 square feet of dedicated customer space. Construction begins in early 2027 and will add lounge seating, a family room and private VIP suites.

What is driving the Colorado project?

NetJets expects its new complex at Rifle Garfield County Airport (RIL) to be operational by early 2027. The company ties the timing to a runway extension at Aspen/Pitkin County Airport (ASE), which it says will position RIL as the key gateway to many of Colorado's premier mountain destinations.

The 6,000-square-foot terminal, built in partnership with Vantage Aviation, will open ahead of the Aspen airport closure and include a new aircraft hangar. The sequencing gives NetJets dedicated capacity in the mountain region before ASE goes offline for extended work.

At DJT, NetJets' fourth-busiest airport, the transition lifts terminal capacity from 10,000 to 15,000 square feet, with expanded accommodation, additional vehicle parking and increased dedicated ramp space for NetJets aircraft.

What does the investment signal?

The four projects concentrate capital where NetJets owners already fly most: major business markets, a seasonal leisure gateway and a mountain corridor facing a supply disruption. Ground infrastructure of this scale typically follows utilization data, and the company frames it exactly that way.

"As Owner demand continues to grow across key business, leisure, and seasonal destinations, NetJets is investing in the infrastructure to deliver an unmatched experience while supporting the service and reliability our Owners expect where they fly most," Patrick Gallagher, President of NetJets Aviation, said.

The Dallas and Rifle complexes both add hangar capacity alongside passenger facilities, tying the terminal program to maintenance and aircraft handling rather than lounges alone.

Delivery timelines stagger across two years: Rifle by early 2027, Dulles construction starting the same year, Dallas in late 2028, and DJT arriving on an unspecified date. How much of the ramp and hangar capacity comes online before the Aspen closure will shape NetJets' position in the Colorado mountain market.
