Through the use of Hangar Tonight, hangar keepers with unused space can list it in hopes of short-term rental.
Through HangarTonight's website, aircraft owners and pilots can search for available hangar space at their destination. With one year of existence under its belt, its developer admits it is still a work in progress in terms of filling in the coverage map.

Airport real estate broker Brendan Clarke recalls the damage Mother Nature wreaked upon his local Colorado Springs Airport on July 28, 2016, during one of the region’s infrequent but punishing hail storms. It caused more than $350 million in insurance claims to the area, landing it on the list of costliest storms to hit the state, and resulted in extensive damage to many private aircraft parked on the ramp at the time, including a Gulfstream GV and a Cessna Citation Sovereign.

“There were a significant number of expensive corporate jets and training aircraft that were total write-offs, yet there was space available, both in the big FBO hangars and the smaller individual hangars on the airport,” he said.
