As business flying remains strong, FBOs and developers are investing in state-of-the-art hangars, specifically for high-end corporate jet operators.
New Corporate Hangar At Chicago Executive
Atlantic Aviation has broken ground on a new hangar at Chicago Executive Airport. The hangar, to be completed by year-end 2021, is being built in response to growing interest from corporate operators that want to base their aircraft at the suburban Chicago airport.
Designed to accommodate three modern ultra-long-range business jets, plus 2-3 small to mid-size jets, the 25,000 sq. ft. hangar will include 3,000 sq. ft. of shop and office space for aircraft support staff. To be located on the northwest corner of the field, it will add a fourth hangar to Atlantic Aviation’s Chicago Executive Airport location, for a total of 86,500 sq. ft. of hangar space. The FBO also plans to develop a fuel farm on two acres of ramp space to support the hangar.
