United States Aviation, the CAA-preferred FBO at Oklahoma’s Tulsa International Airport (KTUL), has doubled its hangar capacity with the opening of its second 48,000-sq-ft hangar. Capable of sheltering the latest ultra-long-range business jets, the $6.8 million facility took 18 months to construct and added 140,000 sq ft of additional ramp, bringing the complex to 11.5 acres of aircraft parking space. For the company, which began operations at the airport in 1987, this is its first major expansion in a quarter of a century.
“U.S. Aviation has been a cornerstone of the airport and the aviation industry for nearly four decades, and we’re proud to support their continued growth at [KTUL],” said Daniel Regan, director of real estate and business development at the Tulsa Airports Improvement Trust.
“I never imagined we would be adding an additional hangar of this size to support more local and transient business aviation for Oklahoma,” said company founder and president Roger Hardesty. “It shows how well Oklahoma’s economic position is, and we are proud to help support our community with this expansion.”
Located at the north end of 10,000-foot Runway 18L/36R, the full-service Titan Fuels-branded FBO is open 24/7 and specializes in cross-country business aircraft fuel stops.
