McKinney National Airport Commercial Service Terminal

Creating North Texas' newest commercial airport

After serving as a general aviation airport for more than 40 years, McKinney National Airport made history by launching a brand-new commercial service passenger terminal. The transformation from a general aviation airport establishing new commercial service passenger terminal is an exceptionally rare milestone in modern aviation, and this development will provide travelers in North Texas with a new air travel option while supporting one of the nation's fastest-growing regions. McKinney’s terminal opening will mark North Texas's third commercial passenger airport.

Garver has served as a trusted partner to the City of McKinney throughout the project's development, providing planning, environmental, engineering, and design services for the airport's transformation to provide commercial service. The project includes a new 46,000-square-foot terminal building with four gates and future expansion capacity, a new Taxiway C, aircraft apron and fueling facilities, roadway improvements, utility infrastructure, and public parking facilities.

Beginning with environmental assessments and planning efforts, Garver helped position the project for funding, regulatory approvals, and long-term success. The multidisciplinary team delivered coordinated solutions across aviation, transportation, site development, water, environmental, structural, landscape architecture, and municipal services to support the airport's transition to commercial passenger operations.

With commercial service as of November 2026, McKinney National Airport provides new nonstop travel options for North Texas residents and accommodates significant future growth, with the capacity to eventually serve more than 1 million passengers annually.
