Fargo Jet Center (FJC), the full-service FBO provider at North Dakota’s Hector International Airport (KFAR), celebrated a major expansion this week with the opening of a $25 million, 112,000-sq-ft hangar and office complex. The expansion brings the company’s footprint at KFAR to 328,000 sq ft of facilities spread over 11 acres and highlights its position as a key player in the local aviation industry and economy.
In addition to standard FBO services, it offers aircraft sales, charter, management, flight training, and a comprehensive suite of maintenance capabilities, including special-mission modifications and completions.
The new facility includes a 27,000-sq-ft maintenance hangar and a 23,000-sq-ft hangar for modifications with dedicated space for composite fabrication, paint, sheet metal work, and avionics. The added hangars—among the largest in the region—have 30-foot-high doors, allowing them to accommodate the latest ultra-long-range business jets. The facility—which will also serve as home to FJC sister company Weather Modification International—will enable the FBO to repurpose 32,000 sq ft of hangar space for increased based and transient aircraft storage.
Located adjacent to the FJC terminal, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection facility is expected to clear nearly 800 international flights this year, with the additional space enhancing the FBO’s ability to serve corporate aircraft from around the world.
“Our new hangar and office complex allows us to expand our services, increase efficiency, and take on more complex and specialized work,” explained FJC president Jim Sweeney. “The investment in state-of-the-art equipment and technology positions us to meet these demands while delivering a seamless, top-tier experience for our clients.”
