Hangar & Facility Strategy
Airport Growth Partners helps sponsors evaluate existing facilities, document demand, identify development opportunities, and determine whether public investment, private development, or a public-private partnership offers the best path forward.
Many general aviation airports have strong demand for hangars but lack a practical plan for adding inventory.
We bring an airport-management and business-development perspective to the process while working alongside the airport's engineer and other technical professionals.
What we help with
- Evaluating the airport's existing hangars, buildings, development areas, and supporting infrastructure
- Reviewing hangar and ground-lease rates for consistency, financial sustainability, and applicable grant-assurance requirements
- Evaluating hangar waiting lists and documenting market demand
- Developing preliminary business cases for hangar expansion
- Comparing airport-funded, privately funded, and public-private development structures
- Assisting with developer outreach and the recruitment of public & private investment
- Helping establish practical phasing and implementation plans
Expected outcomes
- A clear understanding of existing facility conditions and utilization
- Better-supported decisions concerning hangar rates and future development
- A realistic plan for increasing hangar inventory
