NetJets is planning a dedicated private terminal at Augusta Regional Airport to handle the surge in business aviation traffic tied to the annual Masters Tournament.
The company said construction is already underway, with key elements—including a 432,000-square-foot private ramp—expected to be ready in time for this year’s golf tournament that drives a surge in traffic to the area.
The new facility will be dedicated to NetJets operations and is designed to streamline arrivals and departures during peak demand periods. Plans call for a full-service terminal featuring a private lounge, meeting spaces and customized customer services, along with a dedicated ramp to support more efficient aircraft handling.
NetJets said demand for flights into Augusta continues to grow, particularly during tournament week. The company operated nearly 580 flights during the 2025 event—up 34% year over year—and expects as many as 775 flights during the 2026 peak period.
Beyond the annual golf event, NetJets reported a 27% increase in year-round flight demand at Augusta in 2025, with the operator now accounting for roughly 23% of departures at the airport.
Company officials said the investment is part of a broader strategy to expand infrastructure at key destinations and improve access in congested regions. The Augusta project is also expected to create local jobs and provide an economic boost to the surrounding area.
“The NetJets terminal marks a significant business development milestone for the Augusta Regional Airport,” said Augusta Regional Airport Executive Director Herbert L. Judon, Jr. “We are grateful for this investment in Augusta and our strong partnership with NetJets, and we are excited for all the benefits the new terminal will bring for our mutual customers.”
