Rectrix Aerodrome Centers is aiming to raise the bar for FBOs by building “five star” facilities with service and amenities to match. Additionally, the company intends to shake up the market by injecting fresh ideas such as its Hangarminiums, a condo-type arrangement for hangars, and possibly two-level hangars, for which Rectrix holds a patent.

Like many FBOs, Rectrix was born out of a businessman’s need for hangar space. Dr. Thomas Russell, founder of Bio/Dynamics, needed a place to keep his airplane at Barnstable Municipal Airport in Hyannis, Mass., so he tapped cousin-in-law Richard Cawley, a fellow entrepreneur, to help him develop a hangar there.
