New Hangar 3 at Sheltair KECP
Sheltair’s new 24,000-sq-ft Hangar 3 at its Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport FBO nearly doubles the facility’s aircraft shelter.

Florida-based FBO chain Sheltair has completed construction of its latest hangar at Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport (KECP) near Panama City. The 24,000-sq-ft Hangar 3—which can accommodate up to ultra-long-range business jets—took 18 months to build and is located on the southernmost end of the airport. It brings the 27-acre Sheltair FBO—one of two service providers at KECP—to 52,000 sq ft of aircraft storage space.

KECP—which opened in 2010 and serves the local beach vacation communities—features a 10,000-foot runway. Since there is so much charter activity in this area, Hangar 3—now available for lease—would make a base of operations for several aircraft, the company said.
