OK3 Air, the lone FBO at Utah’s Heber Valley Airport (KHCR), has broken ground on a $10 million expansion project. Situated on a more-than-11-acre site, the new development—contracted to Span Construction & Engineering—will consist of a 31,500-sq-ft pre-engineered metal hangar with a 28-foot-high door, which will allow it to accommodate the latest ultra-long-range business jets. It will feature 30,960 sq ft of aircraft storage space and 540 sq ft of offices. With an anticipated completion in January 2026, it will bring the facility to more than 65,000 sq ft of hangar space.
In addition, Span will oversee the construction of 20,000 sq ft of new ramp, with FAA-compliant drainage and pavement markings. With the airport’s upgrading to handling larger Group C-II aircraft as part of its revised master plan, Span will also design taxiway parameters for that class of aircraft under the FAA’s TDG 2 designations.
“This new hangar and supporting infrastructure reflect our commitment to aviation excellence and strategic airport growth,” said Nadim AbuHaidar, OK3’s owner. “We are excited to offer expanded capabilities to accommodate the increase in demand by private aircraft, especially in the [Bombardier] Global 7500 and [Gulfstream] G650 category.”
