Rapidly expanding FBO chain Modern Aviation has begun construction of a $17 million hangar complex at Puerto Rico’s Fernando Luis Ribas Dominicci/Isla Grande Airport. Attending a groundbreaking ceremony late last week were Pedro Pierluisi, the island’s governor; Joel Pizá-Batiz, executive director of the Puerto Rico Airports Authority; and other local officials.

The project includes a pair of 24,000-sq-ft hangars that are designed to withstand extreme weather such as hurricanes and even earthquakes with a geo-pier foundation system. They will be in addition to the location's existing 87,000 sq ft of hangar space, which can accommodate aircraft up to a Bombardier Challenger 350 or Gulfstream G280.
