Air Service Hawaii expects to kick off 2020 with a bang. The Honolulu-based FBO operator, which provides service at six locations throughout the islands, will debut not one but two new multimillion-dollar facilities in January. “It was never our plan to have two projects going at the same time, with all the associated challenges and cash outflow,” said company president Shaen Tarter, “but thanks to permitting issues and other things, that’s just the way it worked out.”
At Lihue Airport, the primary gateway on Kauai, Air Service Hawaii (Booth C11233) is replacing its modest office in the old commuter air terminal with a new 1,800-sq-ft private aviation terminal, which will house its services. It will also add a 12,000-gallon avgas tank, refueler parking area, line service office, and customer vehicle parking. While there is currently no hangar space at the facility, the company has room for and has considered adding a 32,000-sq-ft hangar.
