Avflight Corporation, a leading provider of aviation services, has moved into a brand new terminal at Mississippi’s Hattiesburg/Laurel Regional Airport (KPIB).
The move marks another exciting milestone for Avflight Hattiesburg, which joined the airfield in 2024 as the company’s 25th location. Construction of the terminal was funded through a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airport Infrastructure Grant and took approximately 18 months to complete.
Garrett Hain, Avflight’s Vice President of Finance, said: “This new terminal represents a significant investment in the Hattiesburg community. Thanks to Hattiesburg/Laurel Regional Airport, Avflight is proud to operate within this exceptional new facility, delivering the elevated service and seamless experience our guests have come to expect.”
Designed with comfort and convenience in mind, the 5,300-square-foot terminal delivers an elevated experience for passengers and crew alike. The facility features a welcoming lobby, a state-of-the-art conference room with seating for six and full A/V, and tailored concierge support.
The dedicated pilot lounge offers plush recliners, a large-screen television, a flight planning area with desks, bistro-style seating and a private snooze room ‒ providing a comfortable space for both rest and productivity between flights.
In addition to the new terminal, guests at Avflight Hattiesburg have access to eight 10,000-square-foot hangars, several of which feature 27-foot door openings capable of accommodating aircraft up to the size of a Gulfstream G550. The airfield offers 10 additional hangars and 20 covered pull-throughs for both based and transient aircraft.
Avflight recently made a significant investment in the airfield with the addition of a new fuel storage system. The system can house up to 24,000 gallons of jet fuel, 10,000 gallons of avgas, 550 gallons of diesel and 550 gallons of unleaded automotive fuel. It was built with modern quality control features, including an electronic tank monitoring system, electronic overfill protection, and a multi-pump system for added redundancy, eliminating the potential for downtime.
