McKinney National Airport Gets FAA Part 139 Certification

What might get overlooked with the deserved excitement of announcing more routes at McKinney, was the airport also receiving their Part 139 airport operating certification. Constructing a new terminal is easier to frame in what it takes to deliver commercial service because it’s something we can all see. What goes unseen is the hard work all of the teams at McKinney put in with late night inspections, training, correcting issues, emergency exercises, and developing the documentation required to become Part 139 that involved the whole airport campus away from the new terminal. Helping McKinney National Airport (DTX) transition from GA to commercial service has been a rewarding experience for our Garver Aviation team that will be a memory we will all carry throughout our careers.
