Aircraft owners have a lot of strong opinions, but one of the most consistent is the frustration over the lack of hangar space at airports all over the U.S.
Why Aren’t More Hangars Being Built?
Key Takeaways:
- A significant shortage of aircraft hangar space exists across U.S. airports, with long waiting lists despite strong demand from owners seeking security and protection.
- The primary reasons for this scarcity include the extensive governmental red tape and slow public oversight processes involved in airport development.
- Public resistance ("NIMBYism") and the perception that airports cater only to wealthy individuals create political hurdles for expansion efforts.
- Financial structures that limit airport investment funds and land lease models that disincentivize private developers further impede new hangar construction.
