Mesquite Metro Airport

competitors in the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex, is the fact that we have green space available to develop and investors will not have the additional cost associated with a redevelopment project.” The biggest misconception that people have about Mesquite Metro Airport is that it is merely a small country airport. That might have been the case a long time ago, but with the 6,000- foot runway that can handle 100,000 pounds, the Airport can welcome major aircraft like Gulfstream G-650s. “Our goal is to make this a place where a pilot is proud to take his boss. We do see a few Fortune 500 companies that come in and out throughout the year, and we treat them the same as someone who pulls up in a Cessna-150. We make sure that everybody gets that first- class service and gets treated the way that they should be,” asserts Pratt. “And, hopefully, they’ll come back and spread the great word about us and our operation.” The Mesquite Metro Airport has a bright future as it continues its transition from a recreational facility to a thriving airport for both leisure and business aviators.
