History

Million Air was founded in 1984 by the Mary Kay Cosmetics family as a single-site FBO located at Addison Airport (KADS) in Dallas, Texas. Million Air's goal was to deliver a higher level of service through a luxury FBO to customers in Dallas, consistent to the corporate image within the confines of its corporate jet. In 1984 Million Air Dallas opened in Addison, Texas, as a full-service, first-class business executive lounge for arriving and departing aircraft which was unique at the time.^{[citation needed]}

The company's original goal was to deliver outstanding service in a luxury FBO to the Mary Kay customers and sales representatives at the company's hometown airport.^[1]

The need was established when the originator of the Million Air network recognized that their customers and clients were stepping off of multimillion-dollar aircraft into facilities that were subpar and designed for maintenance and flight schools, not luxury. The solution was to create their own “aviation oasis” at Million Air Dallas.^[1]
