Facility supports enhanced operations along with new Avfuel partnership
KILLEEN, Texas / NOV. 13, 2025 / AVIATION NEWS—The City of Killeen’s Aviation Department proudly announces that its new fixed-base operator (FBO) facility, Skylark Field Terminal, is open and ready to welcome travelers to Central Texas. The facility—located at Skylark Field Airport (KILE)—officially opened its doors on October 10.
The 3,000-square-foot terminal was built from the ground up, creating a space that elevates the travel experience and enhances operational efficiency for the Central Texas aviation community. With modern amenities and a welcoming atmosphere, the new facility represents a major milestone in the city’s ongoing commitment to excellence in aviation service.
“We’re excited to welcome travelers and the community to experience all that our new facility has to offer,” said Mike Wilson, executive director of aviation for the City of Killeen Aviation Department. “This opening marks a new chapter of exceptional service and comfort at Skylark Field Airport, and we look forward to sharing it with everyone who walks through our doors.”
The FBO’s beautifully designed exterior instantly invites travelers inside where they enjoy a bright, spacious reception area, comfortable pilot and passenger lounges, a well-equipped meeting room, and a modern kitchen offering complimentary refreshments. Every detail was designed with functionality and comfort in mind, ensuring a first-class experience for every guest.
Beyond the facility itself, sustainability and education are central to operations. The terminal features solar panels and charging stations to reduce its environmental footprint, while also expanding opportunities for students at Central Texas College to complete their Flight Instructor Certifications.
Skylark Field Airport is a general aviation airfield featuring a 5,495-foot runway, 24-hour self-service Jet A and 100LL fuel, and efficient line service. Its 48 hangars can accommodate up to 64 locally-based aircraft, from single engine up to a King Air 250.
With its opening, the City of Killeen also introduces Avfuel to the airfield. As an Avfuel-branded partner, the FBO provides customers with AVTRIP rewards and competitive prices with Avfuel Contract Fuel. Customers will also benefit from transaction ease when using the Avfuel Pro Card at its FBO with the ability to put everything—fuel and non-fuel items with or without a fuel purchase—on one transaction, avoiding processing fees.
