About Wilson Air Center

Wilson Air Center operates the executive terminal at Charlotte Douglas International Airport, one of the busiest airports in the United States and home to six Fortune 500 company headquarters. The FBO runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and has been voted the number-one Best FBO an impressive 15 times in industry surveys. The facility features a private VIP lobby with direct ramp access, two pilot lounges, snooze rooms, a business center, and on-site Hertz rental cars. The ground crew is equipped and trained to handle any corporate jet operation with a complete inventory of aircraft ground equipment, de-icing services, and professionally trained personnel ready to accommodate any aircraft size. Wilson Air Center's partnership with Charlotte Douglas Airport Authority ensures smooth coordination between the private aviation terminal and the broader airport infrastructure. Charlotte is the second-largest financial center in the United States after New York, home to Bank of America's global headquarters and Truist Financial's co-headquarters. The city's corporate density drives heavy year-round business aviation traffic. Charlotte Motor Speedway brings NASCAR fans, and the Carolina Panthers and Charlotte Hornets generate sports charter demand. The airport is about 7 miles west of uptown Charlotte, and ground transportation to the financial district takes 15 to 20 minutes. Wilson Air Center's combination of survey-recognized service quality, 24-hour operations, and location at a major hub airport makes it one of the most capable FBOs in the Southeast for both corporate and VIP charter operations.
