Farnborough Owners Invest In Structures, Sustainability and People
Another four-bay hangar has been added at the London-area airport over the past 12 months

Farnborough Airport’s private owners Macquarie have relentlessly invested in the London-area gateway since the Australian group acquired it in 2019. The opening of the new Domus III, four-bay hangar complex in 2024 is the most visible proof of this commitment, increasing available hangar space by 70% to a total of 415,000 square feet.

Space apart, the new structure, which cost around $70 million to build, also reflects the company’s strong commitment to meeting its ambitious net zero carbon targets, with features such as automatic daylight dimming of lights, translucent doors to maximize natural light, energy-efficient heating, and a system that “harvests” rainwater. These innovations include 4,000 solar panels installed on the hangar roofs by UK specialist Solivus and electric ground vehicles.
