Key Takeaways:

Waterbury-Oxford Airport (KOXC) is undergoing significant expansion of its FBO services and hangar capacity to address the soaring demand for business aviation in the Northeast, driven by post-COVID private flying and a regional hangar shortage.
Both Atlantic Aviation and Clay Lacy Aviation are investing heavily in KOXC; Atlantic recently opened a 40,000 sq ft hangar and a U.S. Customs facility, while Clay Lacy is building a $20-40 million project to add 120,000 sq ft of hangar space and a full-service FBO.
The newly established U.S. Customs and Border Protection facility at KOXC enhances convenience for international flights, eliminating extra stops and aiming to increase international itinerant traffic to the airport.

Responding to a burgeoning need for hangar space and FBO services in the Northeast, Waterbury-Oxford Airport (KOXC) in Oxford, Connecticut, is growing.

Earlier this month, Atlantic Aviation opened a new 40,000-square-foot hangar that includes a 4,000 square-foot U.S. Customs and Border Protection facility. “The hangar was almost full before we got the certificate of occupancy,” says Shawn Rose, area director for Atlantic Aviation.
