Bay-area FBO To Expand

APP Jet Center is about to embark on a major expansion and reconstruction project on its FBO at San Francisco-area Hayward Executive Airport. To alleviate hangar overcrowding, the facility will add a 20,000-sq-ft hangar with 28-foot-high doors. It will be attached to an existing 10,000-sq-ft hangar with 2,500 sq feet of office space. That hangar will be renovated to appear as one contiguous structure. Once complete, it will give the facility 86,000 sq ft of aircraft storage.

The $4 million project also calls for the existing terminal to be given over to tenant office space upon completion of a new 3,000-sq-foot building with the interior designed to reflect the Silicon Valley aesthetic. Ground breaking is expected by year-end, with completion expected by next year’s third quarter. APP is currently the lone aviation services provider at Hayward, but New Jersey-based Meridian announced plans to establish a West Coast location there and intends to open an FBO next summer.
