A groundbreaking ceremony Friday, July 18, marks the start of work on the expansion of McKinney National Airport, known as TKI.
The City of McKinney has broken ground on a $72 million expansion of McKinney National Airport that will allow commercial passenger service to begin next year.
Federal, state and local officials gathered Friday, July 18, for the ceremony on the east side of the airport’s 8,000-foot runway.
“TKI [the airport’s FAA designation] has been a thriving and successful airport for over 40 years, but now we’re ushering in a new era of aviation for our North Texas community,” Airport Director Ken Carley said. “This is a major milestone that will bring jobs and promote economic growth in North Texas. I look forward to seeing it completed.”
