Sheltair Unveils MRO Hangar at Tampa International

Sheltair today celebrated the completion of Hangar 4300, its newest development at Tampa International Airport (KTPA) and the first purpose-built MRO hangar in company history. The $15 million complex, built over the span of 15 months, consists of 50,880 sq ft of hangar space, 8,344 sq ft of office and shop space, and a 50,000-sq-ft apron designed to support aircraft maneuvering, staging, and fueling.

The hangar features a 30-foot-high door with a 45-foot-high tail door, and while the hangar will be used for aircraft storage in the near-term, the company said it is targeting a single occupant interested in providing MRO services to business jets and/or other transport-category aircraft.

“This project represents more than just new infrastructure; it’s a strategic investment in the future of Tampa’s aviation ecosystem,” said Tony Sherbert, Sheltair’s senior v-p of real estate. “As demand for high-quality hangar space continues to grow, this development allows us to deliver the scale, flexibility, and modern capabilities that operators and maintenance providers need to thrive.”

“The opening of this new hangar facility is another clear indicator of the continued growth of general aviation at Tampa International Airport,” added Brett Fay, KTPA’s v-p of general aviation. “Sheltair’s newest investment responds directly to increasing demand while enhancing the level of service and infrastructure available to our customers.”
