Key Takeaways:

Waterbury-Oxford Airport (KOXC) is undergoing significant expansion to meet the surging demand for hangar space and FBO services in the Northeast, driven by increased private aviation and a regional shortage.
Key operators are investing heavily: Atlantic Aviation recently opened a 40,000 sq ft hangar with a new U.S. Customs and Border Protection facility, while Clay Lacy Aviation broke ground on a $20-40 million project for 120,000 sq ft of hangar space and its first East Coast FBO.
KOXC's appeal stems from its strategic location near major metropolitan areas like New York and Boston, a substantial runway, favorable Connecticut tax policies, and the new customs facility, which together provide a convenient alternative to congested regional airports.

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.
