Clay Lacy Aviation has been awarded a lease for a new FBO at Friedman Memorial Airport (KSUN) in Sun Valley, Idaho. The California-based company will begin construction on the 10-acre plot as soon as designs are finalized and building permits approved. It will become the second FBO on the field, as well as the company's fourth location.
When completed in 2027, the facility will offer a 4,500-sq-ft terminal, more than 110,000 sq ft of hangar space that will accommodate ultra-long-range business jets, a 14,500-sq-ft enclosed vehicle parking garage, and four acres of ramp. Like all of the company’s new facilities, it is expected to achieve carbon neutrality and receive LEED Gold certification for sustainability.
“It is an honor to bring a sustainable approach while strengthening the general aviation experience at Friedman Memorial Airport,” said Scott Cutshall, Clay Lacy’s president of real estate and sustainability. “We understand and value this unique area, having flown to and from KSUN for over five decades. That longevity leads us to take a community-focused approach to the design of our facilities and service.”
A fixture at Los Angeles-area Van Nuys Airport for decades, Clay Lacy is currently constructing an FBO at John Wayne Airport (KSNA) in Orange County and is putting the finishing touches on its first East Coast facility at Waterbury–Oxford Airport (KOXC) in Connecticut.
