The new aircraft hangar alongside the Executive Terminal at London's Biggin Hill Airport is complete and now available for customer use. The hangar is capable of accommodating any aircraft up to BBJ and ACJ.

The steel construction hangar of 120 metres x 40 metres provides 5,000 square metres of space for aircraft parking, servicing or engineering maintenance work. A new ramp of 5,000 square metres adjacent to the new hangar provides improved parking arrangements close to the Terminal, facilitating ramp services for business users.

The hangar complex incorporates a selection of quality serviced offices that are now available for occupation. The offices are offered on a short or long term basis for customers who need space on site for crews carrying out engineering work, operational administration or training schedules.

The principal contractor for the hangar project was Civils Contracting Ltd of Tunbridge Wells. Construction work was handled by John Reid & Sons (Strucsteel) Ltd of Christchurch, Dorset (www.reidsteel.com).

Robert Walters, Business Development Manager, says that the opening of the hangar facility at the Terminal represents a high value customer service development for the airport.

"London Biggin Hill Airport is now able to house any business aircraft type up to BBJ and ACJ on a short or long term basis. Our service capability takes a large step forward with the introduction of this hangar, concurrently offering a community facility to all operators at Biggin Hill" he says.
