Construction is set to begin on a new corporate aircraft hangar at Triangle North Executive Airport (KLHZ) in Louisburg, North Carolina. Expected to be completed by year-end, the 12,000-sq-ft structure will accommodate business jets up to a Gulfstream G650.
The gated-access facility will also feature a climate-controlled lobby, office, and restroom, along with free vehicle parking, and group volume pricing for jet-A.
After a recent apron expansion directly adjacent to the hangar site, the airport currently has 32,400 sq ft of county-owned hangar space plus another 34,600 sq ft of private hangars, all of which are fully occupied.
“Hangar space is in high demand in North Carolina—KRDU (Raleigh–Durham International Airport), KJNX (Johnston Regional Airport), and KTTA (Raleigh Executive Jetport at Sanford-Lee County Airport) are fully occupied with waitlists for private aircraft hangar space,” said Ashley Carrabba, a senior associate at Avison Young, the commercial real estate firm that is marketing the space. “The delivery of this space at KLHZ provides immediate relief for that demand in a newly constructed building that’s well located near US-401, which offers direct access to downtown Raleigh.”

New developments at FBOs including regulations and noise issues; legal disputes; openings, acquisitions and mergers.
