US FBO provider Sheltair is opening a new T-hangar complex at Melbourne Orlando International airport in Florida. This much needed project underscores Sheltair's dedication to fostering the general aviation community by offering new facilities that cater to the diverse needs of aircraft owners and operators.
The newly constructed hangars feature contemporary amenities, designed to accommodate various aircraft types and enhance operational efficiency. The structure, spanning over 34,500 sq ft, will include 30 T-hangars tailored for single-engine and light twin aircraft. Set on nearly 4.5 acres of prime apron space, this hangar complex will warmly welcome its tenants and their passengers, featuring 37 parking spaces for passenger vehicles and two restrooms, all designed to enhance the flying experience. These new facilities aim to enrich the experience for general aviation users, attracting more aviation-related activities to the Melbourne area and supporting local economic growth.
Sheltair property manager Amanda Herx remarks: “We are delighted to unveil these new additional 30 T-hangars as part of our ongoing commitment to serving the general aviation community here. Our focus remains on understanding and addressing our existing and new clients' needs, and we believe that these new facilities will significantly enhance the overall experience for our customers. We look forward to continuing our partnership with the aviation community in Melbourne.”
