Million Air held the grand opening of its new hangar at New York’s Westchester County Airport (HPN) this morning. The 52,000-sq-ft structure, Phase I of the Houston-based company’s new $70 million FBO complex at the New York City gateway, is the first new hangar to be built at the airport in two decades and brings the Million Air location to more than 65,000 sq ft of aircraft storage space.

It features radiant floor heating and a 28-foot-high door, and is able to accommodate the latest large-cabin business jets. The hangar took a year to build is now fully occupied, as is the 5,000 sq ft of office space on the mezzanine.

According to company president and CEO Roger Woolsey, who addressed the audience at the ribbon cutting, the 13 aircraft now housed in the hangar represent a “cost of access” savings for their operators who previously had to store them in Connecticut or New Jersey due to lack of available space at HPN.

The $20 million project also included the renovation of 100,000 sq ft of ramp space between the new hangar and the new terminal currently under construction. Million Air HPN's 22,000-sq-ft, Adirondack-themed terminal building is expected to be completed by year-end.
