Problems Lead to Idea for VanTrojen

Gemini Sparkle

Key Takeaways:

  • Driven by a critical shortage of aircraft hangar space and jet-A fuel in the Phoenix area, pilot Aaron VanTrojen acquired a 4.8-acre property at Stellar Airpark (P19).
  • He plans to redevelop the site into a commercial aviation complex, constructing 30 new fee-simple hangars (primarily 60'x60') and installing self-service jet-A fuel, alongside improvements to the existing FBO building.
  • The project is in early design and permitting stages, aiming to meet significant demand for aircraft storage in the region, with sales hoped to commence in 2022 despite potential supply chain challenges.
