Maven by Midfield, an FBO at Detroit-area Oakland County International Airport (KPTK), will open its newest hangar on May 17. The 28,500-sq-ft structure—with its 28-foot-high bottom rolling doors—is capable of sheltering the latest ultra-long-range business jets, and it also includes six offices totaling more than 1,200 sq ft of space for tenants.
It is situated on a 7.5-acre apron area with direct access to the airport’s customs ramp and ample room for aircraft maneuvering, parking, and loading. Equipped with a non-foam fire suppression system, it brings the facility up to more than 102,000 sq ft of hangar space.
“Being at one of the top airports in the United States with a large population of based aircraft, it's our honor to bring much-needed hangar space to this market,” company president Jason Zimmerman told AIN. “It further demonstrates Maven's commitment to the airport, the community, our industry, and our growing role as a leading FBO.”
A member of the World Fuel Services-sponsored Air Elite network of upscale FBOs, the company also recently completed a $400,000 renovation to its 26,500-sq-ft “Hangar 1,” which included an all-glass, hydraulically-operated door, new epoxy flooring, and updated heating.
