[edit] History
Million Air is a network of both franchised and corporate owned or managed FBOs in North America and the Caribbean and is headquartered in Houston, Texas. The first FBO was built in Addison, Texas (Dallas) and at the time, was the first luxury FBO in aviation history. The contemporary design and innovative thinking drew national attention so much that the network expanded across North America. Over the next 25 years, the Million Air name became iconic and was synonymous with service and luxury beyond providing the traditional services of an FBO.
