Aircraft charter, management, and brokerage provider SkyShare has been selected to take over the former municipally-operated FBO at Utah’s South Valley Regional Airport (KSVR). An international airport located near Salt Lake City, KSVR is a general aviation reliever with a 5,862-foot runway. It features a 6,000-sq-ft, two-story terminal with showers, passenger lobby with refreshment bar, pilot lounge, and crew car.
Starting in May, SkyShare will begin a full remodel of the building. The project will add a new pilot lounge, 12-seat conference room, and a business center.
The Titan Aviation Fuels-branded complex also includes an adjoining 10,000-sq-ft hangar, as well as a 15,000-sq-ft hangar, both of which can accommodate up to super-midsize jets. The company plans to address the hangar shortage on the field by adding a second 15,000-sq-ft hangar, in addition to 50 T-hangars.
“South Valley isn’t just another airport to me,” said SkyShare founder and CEO Cory Bengtzen. “It’s where I learned to fly and earned my private pilot certificate more than 20 years ago. It’s where I kept my first airplane. Being part of its future is incredibly meaningful.”
