Sheltair has announced the commencement of two new hangars in a groundbreaking ceremony held on Wednesday, October 16, 2024, in conjunction with the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority (GOAA).
An estimated $16 million investment, these expansive facilities are poised to support aircraft storage and maintenance in the Orlando area.
Hangar 18, with its 32,956 square feet, is designed to serve as a Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) facility, equipped with the latest technology to provide top-notch service to a wide range of aircraft.
Hangar 19, spanning 32,504 square feet, will primarily function as a storage hangar, offering secure and reliable storage solutions for aircraft owners and operators.
Tony Sherbert, Sheltair senior vice president of real estate said: “We are truly grateful for the support we have received from the GOAA board and staff throughout this process and the 21-year tenure that we have enjoyed at the Orlando Executive Airport.
“Since 2003, Sheltair has been a proud fixture at the Orlando Executive Airport and has remained steadfast in our commitment to deliver industry-leading and award-winning facilities and services to the aviation community in Orlando.
“In addition to supporting jobs and driving economic activity for the city, this will position Sheltair and the Orlando Executive Airport to meet the evolving needs of the aviation community in Central Florida and maintain Orlando Executive Airport’s status as a premier destination aircraft owners and operators.”
