Groundbreaking ceremony for new hangars at Modern Aviation KFRG
Officials from Republic Airport (KFRG) join members of Modern Aviation's leadership on Wednesday at the groundbreaking ceremony marking the start of construction on a pair of new hangars at the Long Island, New York gateway. The more than $27 million project will add 81,000 sq ft of high-end private aircraft storage to the space-constrained metro New York market when it is completed in late 2024.

Modern Aviation has broken ground on a pair of hangars at its Republic Airport FBO on New York’s Long Island. The $27 million project at the former Sheltair facility—one of three service providers on the field—will add 71,200 sq ft of aircraft storage space and bring it to nearly a quarter-million square feet of aircraft shelter.

Both heated hangars will feature 28-foot-high doors to accommodate the latest ultra-long-range business jets. They will also incorporate sustainable features such as energy-efficient lighting and mechanical systems, above-code building insulation, and recycled materials.
