NetJets Builds 432,000 sq ft Dedicated Terminal at Augusta — 2026 Masters Expected to Operate 775 Movements (+34% YoY), Marking Strategic Pivot From Leased FBO to Owned Infrastructure
◆Global (series)
Analysis
★★★ NetJets is building a dedicated terminal at KAGS with 432,000 sq ft of apron, lounges, and private meeting space, first activated during 2026 Masters. NetJets operated approximately 580 movements during 2025 Masters and is projected to hit 775 in 2026 (+34%). NetJets holds 23% of KAGS departure share, with movements up 27% in 2024–2025. AviGo data for April 1–2, 2026 (T-2 before tournament) shows KAGS recorded 58 movements vs. 57 in the same period of 2025, with NetJets in #1 position at 8 movements. The fleet mix tilts slightly upmarket (additions of G280 and Global 6000). This marks NetJets' strategic shift from leased third-party FBO to owned facilities — and signals that event-driven business jet demand has now reached the critical scale to support fixed-asset investment.
