Aviation services provider Jet Access has opened a new private hangar at John C. Tune Airport (KJWN) in Tennessee, expanding its footprint in the Nashville area. The company has long operated a full-service FBO at nearby Music City Executive Airport (KXNX) in Gallatin. In addition to Tennessee, Jet Access operates facilities in Indiana, Illinois, and Texas.
Construction on the complex at KJWN <a href="https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/2025-08-21/jet-access-starts-construction-second-fbo-nashville-area">began</a> last year. It features a 3,500-sq-ft terminal for the company’s clients and aircraft owners, offering an executive lounge, private offices, conference room, and refreshment bar, along with 33,500 sq ft of ramp and a 22,500-sq-ft hangar capable of sheltering ultra-long-range business jets. Jet Access will also operate a Titan Fuel-supplied fuel farm to support its based customers. The company will offer on-site maintenance with 24/7 AOG support.
“Opening our private terminal at John C. Tune Airport reflects our long-term commitment to this community and our confidence in the future of Middle Tennessee,” said Jet Access CEO Quinn Ricker, adding that the new development marks the start of a new chapter for the company. “Nashville has become a hub for business, innovation, and investment, and our goal is to deliver an aviation experience that meets or exceeds the caliber of this market.”

New developments at FBOs including regulations and noise issues; legal disputes; openings, acquisitions and mergers.
