International Flight Center (IFC), one of four FBOs at Miami Executive Airport (KTMB), is accepting short- and long-term leases for a hangar complex it plans to open in the first quarter of 2024.
The company already offers 120,000 sq ft of aircraft storage and this project will introduce a trio of 28,000-sq-ft hangars—each capable of sheltering ultra-long-range business jets—into the tight South Florida aviation real estate market. They will bring the FBO to more than 200,000 sq ft of aircraft storage space.
“We are excited about the construction of our hangar development project at KTMB,” IFC owner and president Wilfredo Valle told AIN. “This project will enormously increase our presence on the field and represents a significant milestone for our company, allowing us to better accommodate our client needs while contributing to the growth of general aviation at KTMB.”
The Avfuel-branded facility occupies more than 12 acres on the southwest side of the dedicated business aviation airport adjacent to the U.S. Customs office. A second phase of development will replace the current 2,300-sq-ft terminal with a modern 10,500-sq-ft, two-story building by the end of next year. As the construction advances, the FBO will offer prospective tenants hard-hat tours of the property on December 13.
