Sky Harbour to develop new hangar campus at Long Beach Airport (LGB)

Sky Harbour Group Corporation, a leading developer of Home Base Operator (HBO) campuses for business aircraft, announced a ground lease agreement with the City of Long Beach, California, to build a new Sky Harbour campus at Long Beach Airport (LGB), serving Long Beach, Orange County, and Greater Los Angeles.

The 17-acre, two-phase project will feature state-of-the-art hangars, offices, and ramp space designed to provide “the shortest time to wheels-up in business aviation.” The development is expected to create hundreds of jobs and generate significant economic benefits for the region.

LGB becomes Sky Harbour’s 19th home-base location, joining operational campuses in Houston, Nashville, Miami, San Jose, Camarillo, Seattle, Phoenix, Dallas, and Denver, with additional sites under development nationwide.
