Salt Lake City International Airport and Sky Harbour Group Corp. of White Plains, New York, have announced plans to build a Sky Harbour Home Base hangar campus on 8.4 acres of airport property. The hangar campus will offer “the best home base in business aviation” and complement Sky Harbour’s current development at Centennial Airport in Denver to house corporate and privately-owned business jets and offer line services to campus tenants.
Sky Harbour promises “the shortest time to ‘wheels-up’ in business aviation” and expects to create or sustain hundreds of local jobs and generate significant economic benefits from the facility.
“Sky Harbour will not only greatly enhance the campus of the SLC International Airport but will benefit the city, state and region as well,” said Bill Wyatt, executive director of Salt Lake City Department of Airports. “We look forward to working with Sky Harbour to augment SLC’s business aviation industry.”
“Salt Lake City International Airport is a gem in the growing Rocky Mountain region and one of the nation’s fastest-growing business aviation airports,” said Tal Keinan, Sky Harbour’s chairman and CEO. “This Home Base campus will be Sky Harbour’s second facility to serve the Rocky Mountain region. Sky Harbour is honored to be joining the SLC community and committed to delivering the long-term benefits of a Sky Harbour campus to Salt Lake City and to the state of Utah.”
