Universal Aviation Spain will upgrade its offerings in Madrid with the destination’s first and only general aviation hangar at Madrid–Barajas Airport (LEMD). Construction is expected to begin later this year on the 53,820-sq-ft (5,000-sq-m) project, which will include a 107,640-sq-ft apron. Its late 2026 completion will coincide with the start of the city’s decade-long hosting of Formula One races, which drives demand for aircraft storage space.

Located on LEMD’s Ramp 7, the structure’s large frame design will include four independently opening doors and space to accommodate up to a commercial narrowbody jetliner in addition to the latest ultra-long-range business jets. Open 24/7, it will feature fire suppression to NFPA 409 standard, office space, and dedicated customer storage space.
