Gallatin dedicates airport improvements

Officials dedicated the newly completed Mid-Field Apron at the Music City Executive Airport (MCEA) in Gallatin. MCEA has experienced a tremendous amount of growth over the last several years with yearly operations growing 700% in the last six years. The airport has received more than $7 million in modernization and safety upgrades as a result with the new apron project facilitating nine new corporate hangars. Through revenue generated from land leases and fuel flowage fees, the airport has the potential to realize an increase of over $200,000 to its revenue. The airport has also received $10 million from the state for the construction of a new terminal with added ramp space for aircraft parking, a new fuel facility, security/wildlife fencing and expansion to the east side of the airport to accommodate more corporate and t-hangars to support general aviation.
