US-based FBO chain Sheltair Aviation has opened its new 30,000 sq ft hangar at the Savannah/Hilton Head International airport in Georgia. The multi-million dollar investment will enhance Sheltair SAV's award-winning FBO services while fulfilling the growing need for additional aircraft storage in the area.

“At Sheltair we are focused on investing in new facilities to better serve the general aviation industry across our network,” says chief operating officer Todd Anderson. “This hangar expansion will allow us to accommodate Savannah's growing business sector while actively participating in the long-term economic development of the airport and the community.”

Equipped with 28 ft tall doors, Sheltair's large cabin class-size hangar expansion has been designed to accommodate the latest generation of aircraft, such as the Gulfstream G650 and Global 7000. The $5.5 million project broke ground just under a year ago and is now ready to support both based aircraft and transient operators in Savannah/Hilton Head International airport.

“We greatly appreciate Sheltair's decision to once again invest millions more dollars in aviation development here at our airport,” says Savannah Airport Commission executive director Greg Kelly. “We are fortunate to have a great partnership with one of the top FBOs in the country. We look forward to continued success and growth with Sheltair in the years to come.”

Sheltair's FBO base also offers access to a terminal building, US Customs, executive board rooms and a convenient location.
