Presentations from Members of the Public
1. Mr. Mike Sykes regarding update on US Jet Center FBO
Mr Sykes gave an update on US Jet Center FBO and US Aviation Flight Academy plans for the
future here at the Denton Enterprise Airport following that acquisition of the Business Air FBO
on July 1, 2017.
Mr. Sykes indicated that US Aviation has been at the Denton Enterprise Airport for
approximately 12 years. As a result of this acquisition, the FBO and Flight Academy will be
separated with the FBO being located at the old Business Air building and the Flight Academy
remaining in the US Aviation building.
US Aviation Flight Academy also operates in two other locations; one at North Texas Regional
in Grayson County and in connection with Tarrant County College located at Alliance Airport.
North Texas Regional is flight training and Tarrant County College is a two year associate's
degree program.
Mr. Sykes informed the board that US Aviation FBO had lost money every year, however, was
operated to support the need for fuel by the Flight Academy. They have been working with the
parent company of Business Air for almost a full year to consolidate to one FBO. Given
approximately 1.7 million gallons of fuel sold at the Airport, with approximately 400,000 gallons
used by the Flight Academy,both parties agreed that consolidation to US Aviation made the
most sense.
Mr. Sykes indicated that US Jet Center will provide fueling, line services, charter, and hangar
rental. US Jet Center's goal is to provide their services in a safe and professional manner.
The business does not plan to increase prices, however, there will be operator changes over the
next few months. Mr. Sykes informed the Board, and another goal is to visit surrounding
Airports to entice Aircraft operators and business to move to Denton.
Mr. Sykes would invited the Board to visit their facilities. Member Tickner inquired why the
name change for the FBO. Mr. Sykes explained the desire to rebrand the FBO so to better
distinguish the FBO from the Flight Academy.
Chairman Stodola inquired if Business Air was remaining at the Airport. Mr. Sykes indicated
that Business Air will remain in the building as a tenant and will continue to provide air charter
services.
Member Weinstein ask how many people are working for the company. Mr. Sykes indicated
approximately 250 staff and students.

B. June 2017

indicated that the back page also includes alerts and incidents for the associated month.
2. Discussion and input regarding the Monthly Financial Report—May 2017
Scott Gray, Airport Manager,presented the Monthly Financial Report for May 2017. The

that the Quebec Hangars were not occupied until January 2017. Member Tickner

Drainage repairs were being conducted at the Quebec Hangars and are anticipated to be
completed in the next several weeks.
Several security fencing projects are scheduled in several areas on the south side of the
Airport along John Carrell Road and Spartan Drive.
Three additional security cameras are being installed to enhance security and incident
management on the Airport. Two will be located on the Air Traffic Control Tower and one at
the Airport Maintenance building.
4. Staff Report on the May Storm Damage and Repair
Chase Patterson, Operations Coordinator, reported on storm damage as a result of a severe
storm on May 24, 2017 at approximately 1:30 am. There was significant damaged to both
FBOs. The Quebec Hangars sustained some damaged to the siding and a portion of fencing at
the Airport Maintenance building. Several privately-owned aircraft, and US Aviation Flight
Academy aircraft sustained significant damage.
5. Staff Report on the West Parallel Runway Project
Scott Gray, Airport Manager, reported on the West Parallel Runway Project. The original
runway design has been changed from a 5,000'x100' runway with a weight capacity of
12,500 pounds, to a 5000'x75' runway with a weight capacity of 30,000 pounds. This new
design will accommodate a greater number of based aircraft.
The Environmental Assessment is being completed by Kimley-Horn, Planning and Design
Engineering Consultants, and is anticipated to be available for a Public Hearing in the next
several months.
Member Tickner inquired as to the taxiways don't lining up with the existing taxiways. Mr.
Gray commented that new FAA requirements call for the taxiways to not be aligned to
reduce inadvertent access to the runway.
Mr. Gray further commented that the longest phase was the actual construction of the runway
and portions of the taxiway connectors, at approximately 280 days. Subsequent phases will
require that the existing runway be shortened to approximately 5000' to accommodate the
connection of the taxiway to the new runway. The runway will not have lighting installed
during construction, so it will only be available for daytime use.
Member Key inquired if the west side runway was for light aircraft only. Mr. Gray indicated
that with the design change, the runway can be used by the majority of existing aircraft using
the Airport.
