APP Jet Center inaugurated the newest hangar at its Stuart Jet Center FBO at Florida’s Witham Field Airport (KSUA) this week with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by employees, customers, airport officials, and local dignitaries.
The 20,000-sq-ft hangar, which can accommodate ultra-long-range business jets, took a year to build and is fully leased. It includes 4,000 sq ft of executive office space on the second floor and brings the company to 140,000 sq ft of hangar and office space at KSUA.
South Florida remains one of the most active private aviation markets in the country. According to APP, demand for widebody, high-tail aircraft storage and top-tier office space continues to rise. Across its network of four FBOs—in Fort Pierce, Florida (KFPR); Manassas, Virginia (KHEF); Hayward, California (KHWD); and KSUA, as well as its hangar complex at Denver-area Centennial Airport (KAPA)—APP now manages more than one million sq ft of hangar space in the U.S.
“There is high demand for hangar space in business and general aviation, and we are expanding our real estate offering at each of the airports we serve,” said APP Jet Center CEO Dan Harrow. “While we’ve grown considerably in the last few years, we’ve kept our small, family-owned business culture, and we take the needs of each local aviation community into consideration with every new build.”
