Work Underway on New Operations Center, Hangar at Baton Rouge Jet Center

Work has started on a new fixed base operation center and aircraft hangar at Baton Rouge Metro Airport.

The Baton Rouge Jet Center, an aircraft fueling hub, is spending $3 million to build the new 5,000-square-foot operations center and a 22,000-square foot hangar, said Brett Furr, the local attorney who is president of the center.

The goal is to have the facility open for business before the LSU-Texas football game, which will be played in Tiger Stadium on September 12, Furr said. Arkel is serving as the general contractor.
