US FBO organisation Stellar Aviation Group has commenced a major expansion project at Reno-Tahoe International airport in Nevada. The three-phase project, with an estimated cost of $25 million, will include two new 30,000 sq ft hangars, over 10,000 sq ft of office space and a 5,000 sq ft executive terminal.

COO Brad Kost states: “This new state-of-the-art facility will complement our existing facilities in Reno and provide a modern gateway for all valuable airport users and economic partners in this fast-growing market.”

The first phase of the expansion is expected to be completed and open for business by spring of next year, providing a crucial boost to the local economy by creating more than 100 jobs. The new facilities will allow Stellar to meet the growing demand for hangar space and aviation services in the Reno area. Daren Griffin, CEO of the Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority, emphasised the importance of the expansion, stating: “All companies moving into the region have aviation needs, and Stellar is an important part of meeting that need.”

The expansion at Reno-Tahoe represents a significant milestone for Stellar Aviation Group, as the company plans to continue to expand its operations in Nevada. In addition to the Reno project, Stellar is also planning to establish a new facility at Carson City airport. With a strong commitment to customer service and safety, Stellar is well-positioned to meet the growing demand for aviation services in the region.

Stellar has been operating its facility at Reno-Tahoe International since January 2020, and the organisation also operates FBOs at Abraham Lincoln Capital airport in Springfield, Illinois and Palm Beach County Park airport in West Palm Beach, Florida.
