Hangar expansion at Hillsboro Airport draws praise and criticism

Hillsboro Airport (HIO) is set to undergo a significant expansion with the addition of five new hangars on a 190,000-square-foot plot of land. This development is part of a comprehensive 20-year plan aimed at updating and improving the airport's facilities. The new hangars will be occupied by Sky Harbour, an aviation infrastructure development company. According to its website, Sky Harbour is "building the first nationwide network of Home-Basing Solutions ('HBS') for business aircraft." The company "develops, leases and manages general aviation hangars across the United States, targeting airfields in the largest growth markets with significant aircraft populations and high hangar demand." Port of Portland commissioners voted unanimously this week to approve the new hangars for Sky Harbour. HIO is already home to hangars belonging to major companies like Nike and hosts the Hillsboro Aero Academy, one of the largest airplane and helicopter schools in the country. https://katu.com/news/local/major-exp... _______________ Stay up to date with our social media: KATU on Facebook:   / katunews   KATU on Twitter:   / katunews   Subscribe to KATU on YouTube:    / @katunews   Daily News Playlist:    • KATU Daily News Playlist   For more information, visit https://katu.com/ Have a news tip?
