Anson Aviation recently broke ground at on its 24,000 square-foot, state-of-the-art office and hangar facility at Sugar Land Regional Airport.

Anson Air already operates the only FAA-approved pilot school at the airport. The $3 million facility will allow Anson to offer innovative aviation services and create 15 new aviation jobs at Sugar Land Regional.

"Our business plan has always been based on challenging the traditional assumptions of our industry," said Anson founder and president Dana Atkinson in a press release. "For example, we see training pilots and renting airplanes as a lifestyle business, not an airplane business. The mobility and freedom available to pilots of personal airplanes fits perfectly with the premium lifestyle offered by Sugar Land and Fort Bend County."

Anson offers a full range of pilot courses and the company provides flight training for the professional pilot programs at San Jacinto Community College and Mountain State University.

According to Atkinson, Anson will begin offering additional innovative aeronautical services for pilots, airplane owners, and the general public.

Sugar Land Regional Airport is the fourth-largest airport in the greater Houston area and one of the foremost general reliever airports in the Gulf Coast region.
