Port City Air will renovate and ­manage multiple hangars at Portsmouth  International Airport at Pease, the ­former Pease Air Force Base  Strategic Air Command facility in Portsmouth, N.H. Port City Air also  operates fixed-wing and rotorcraft maintenance and ­avionics services.  So far, Port City Air has ­renovated three of four hangars, now heated  and ready for immediate occupancy, and prices are “at an ­attractive  price not typically offered at most Northeast locations,” according to  the FBO.  Port City Air is investing more than $2 million in capital improvements  ­during the next two years, including hangar upgrades and a larger fuel  farm. The ­hangars are all large enough to accommodate ­several  aircraft; office, maintenance and ­storage space is also available.  Portsmouth International has an 11,321-foot-long runway and is an ideal tech stop for transatlantic flights with U.S. Customs available 24/7. Port City Air  started as a maintenance facility in 1995, opened an FBO in June 2003  and purchased New Hampshire Helicopters later that year.
