Sky X Marks the Spot with FBO at Hammond Northshore

Hammond Northshore Regional Airport (KHDC)—located on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain near New Orleans—is now served by three FBOs with the opening of its latest: Sky X. The newly built complex features a two-story, 10,000-sq-ft terminal with an airy lobby, passenger lounge with refreshment bar, 14-seat conference room, theater room, recreation room with pool table, and showers.

Its 30,000-sq-ft hangar can accommodate ultra-long-range business jets, and a second phase of development—slated to conclude by year-end—will triple that space with the addition of two more hangars.

The full-service facility also offers maintenance through its FAA Part 145 repair station, an AOG rapid response team, and Part 135 charter operations, all onsite. As a member of the Avfuel dealer network, the FBO will offer the fuel provider’s contract fuel and customer loyalty program.

“Our new facility represents an exciting new chapter for Sky X and reinforces our commitment to delivering a world-class experience tailored to our customers’ needs,” said Sky X owner and president Rob Scariano, a U.S. Air Force veteran whose career includes credentials as a commercial pilot and flight instructor, as well as an FAA mechanic certificate with airframe and powerplant ratings. “From our modern amenities and expansive hangar space to our tailored concierge support, every aspect of our operation was designed with customers in mind.”
