Business Jet, the lone independent, family-owned FBO at Dallas Love Field (KDAL), has completed construction on two new hangars,&nbsp;its 18th and 19th, on its 53-acre campus. Totaling 70,000 sq ft of space, the new&nbsp;pair—built over the span of 15 months for $24 million—has 28-foot-high doors and can shelter ultra-long-range business jets.
The two hangars—which bring the complex to more than 475,000 sq ft of aircraft storage and office space—are intended to fill different roles. The west hangar will support a single tenant with a custom floor plan, climate control, and upscale interior finishes. It will also feature the first tip-up canopy-style door on the Business Jet campus. Meanwhile, the east hangar is designed for multiple flight departments, with seven individual offices and shop space.
Both will offer epoxy-coated floors, energy-efficient LED lighting, large ceiling fans, radiant tube heating, electric vehicle charging, and integrated utility pedestals with electricity, compressed air, and water.
“We’re proud of the way this development seamlessly blends with our existing hangars, rounding out the northeast corner of the airport,” explained company CEO and partner Chris Wright. “We’re also excited to say the new space is 100% leased, reaffirming strong demand for hangar space at Dallas Love Field.”

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