Facing rising demand for aircraft storage space in South Florida, Fontainebleau Aviation—an FBO at bustling business aviation hub Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport (KOPF)—will soon complete a hangar expansion project.
Located directly across from its multistory terminal, the $13 million construction began in July. It will add 40,000 sq ft of hangar space capable of sheltering the latest ultra-long-range business jets, along with 5,000 sq ft of attached offices. 
It will bring the facility up to 260,000 sq ft of hangar space, which will be helpful during the October to April peak season. The extra space is also needed for local events that attract many aircraft to the airport and put available aircraft shelter at a premium, according to Bobby Courtney, Fontainebleau’s v-p of aviation.
“The new hangars provide peace of mind for both our clients and our dedicated team,” he stated. “There is an unmistakable and growing demand for top-tier aircraft storage facilities in our area, and we are proud to continue accommodating and fulfilling the needs of our clientele’s assets and operational requirements, all under one roof.”
