Flightpath Aviation, the recently-launched sister of Canadian aircraft operator Flightpath Charter Airways, will serve as the exclusive tenant of a hangar under construction at the Atlantic Aviation FBO complex at Florida’s Boca Raton Airport (KBCT).
The 30,000-sq-ft structure—being built by Atlantic and expected to be completed in October—will feature a 195-foot-wide, 28-foot-high door that will allow it to accommodate the latest ultra-long-range business jets. With 8,000 sq ft of office space on two floors, the hangar will also serve as Flightpath’s U.S. headquarters. Capable of sheltering up to seven large aircraft, the hangar will be located steps away from KBCT’s customs facility and the Atlantic terminal.
“This new hangar represents an important step in our efforts to better serve clients in the U.S.,” said David Shaver, Flightpath Aviation’s managing director. “South Florida continues to be an important region for private aviation, and this facility allows us to support our clients with added convenience and reliable service.”
As the company looks to build up the fleet on its U.S. certificate, Shaver told AIN that many of the owners of its 23 Canada-based aircraft also have residences in Florida. Flightpath also provides advisory services on which jurisdiction and registry would best suit their activities.
