Arizona-based aircraft charter and management provider Gemini Air Group has opened a new hangar at Scottsdale airport. Built in cooperation with the city, the 60,000-sq-ft facility, which also houses the company’s Part 145 aircraft repair station, features 28-foot-high doors and can accommodate the latest big business jets, up to and including Bombardier Globals and the Gulfstream G650.

The $23 million hangar also includes an executive lounge, and Gemini offers fuel discounts for based aircraft. A U.S. Customs facility was built adjacent the hangar, making Gemini the only private hangar operator on the airport to offer the service.

Company president Tim Carpay said its hangars are already 75 percent leased, and it expects to achieve full occupancy by October.
