What to expect at TKI.
A reliever for both Love Field and DFW, freshly expanded and dedicated to business and personal aviation. McKinney Air Center — the on-field FBO — offers U.S. Customs on request and planeside car service. If home is Frisco, Allen or McKinney, TKI can cut ground time to under twenty minutes, and operators based there often quote sharper repositioning on North Dallas departures.
FBOs and handling
The on-field FBO is McKinney Air Center. Arrive fifteen to twenty minutes before wheels-up: your car pulls planeside or to a private lounge, luggage goes straight to the hold and there is no security line. International departures add customs formalities — plan 30–45 minutes.
Which jets can operate from TKI
With 7,002 ft of pavement, McKinney National Airport takes every aircraft class we fly — light and midsize jets anywhere on the board, and heavy cabins (which typically want ~6,000 ft or more) comfortably, Gulfstream G450 and Global 6000 included. All 8 aircraft in our Dallas fleet operate here.
