by | May 15, 2025 | Area news, Latest

Work is scheduled to begin next month on a $72 million expansion of McKinney National Airport that will allow commercial passenger service to begin next year.

“We are cleared for takeoff,” Mayor George Fuller said after the McKinney City Council approved $61 million in contracts at a May 6 meeting.

The project will involve a 46,600-sqare-foot passenger terminal with four aircraft gates and nearly 1,000 parking spaces expected to serve 200,000 passengers per year when opened in late 2026.
