New Haven Airport Terminal Prepares for Take Off …

Posted by Bob Gernert on October 30, 2008 at 3:03 pm

Winter Haven is about to open a new 13,000 square foot airport terminal on the northern end of Gilbert Field adjacent to US 92. (See photo at left) The building features include a conference room area and the second location for Richard’s Fine Coffees (2008 Industry Award Winner) with amenities including sandwiches and an outdoor seating area. (Note: While the terminal is not yet operational for flight purposes, the restaurant is working through a “soft opening.” Access the building from US 92.) Grand opening plans will be announced soon.  We will post hours of operation and other details at that time. 

The beautiful new terminal is the first step in what is envisioned to become an airport business park. The building is the first major upgrade in terminal facilities since World War II.

    Will pilots be able to fly in here for breakfast?

    Assuming that the plane they are piloting is appropriate to runway length, yes. The restaurant does not feature a full grill but a selection of pastries and sandwiches plus various coffee and beverage options are available.

    I drive by that building everyday – and it really does look beautiful. A great asset on which to build a “business enhancing” airport.
