Galaxy FBO Addresses Growing Houston Hangar Shortage

Galaxy Aviation is expanding the available hangar space in Houston to address demand for aircraft shelter as the region continues to see strong business aviation growth. The Texas-based FBO chain recently constructed a hangar at its flagship Houston Hobby Airport (KHOU) location, and broke ground on another at its Conroe North Houston Regional Airport (KCXO) facility.

Encompassing 29,000 sq ft of space, the KHOU hangar—Galaxy’s fourth at this location—can accommodate aircraft up to a Gulfstream G500. In total, Galaxy's KHOU complex now has 140,000 sq ft of hangar space, capable of handling the latest ultra-long-range business jets.

At nearby KCXO, the Black Forest Ventures subsidiary just broke ground on what will be Galaxy’s 10th hangar on its campus there. Slated for completion in January, the project includes 21,875 sq ft of space capable of housing the top-end business jets, along with 4,200 sq ft of office and storage space. That will bring the FBO to 220,000 sq ft of aircraft storage space.

Both projects reflect Galaxy’s approach to development: purpose-built facilities designed around aircraft performance, operational efficiency, and customer experience. According to the company, “These developments reflect Galaxy’s long-term commitment to supporting growing demand across the greater Houston region while delivering modern, scalable facilities for operators and aircraft owners.”
