Sky Harbour Announces Two New Hangar Campus Developments at Dallas Love Field (DAL) and Dallas Executive Airport (RBD) and Financing Updates
Sky Harbour Group Corporation (NYSE:SKYH, SKYH WS)) ("SHG" or the "Company"), an airport infrastructure company building the first nationwide network of Home Base Operator (HBO) campuses for business aircraft, today announced that the Dallas City Council voted to authorize the execution of ground lease agreements for the development of Sky Harbour HBO campuses at Dallas Love Field (DAL) and Dallas Executive Airport (RBD).
The Sky Harbour campuses will serve as a home base for the region's top corporate and private business aircraft, providing state-of-the-art hangars, adjoining office and lounge suites, and Sky Harbour's proprietary line-service offering, dedicated exclusively to based tenants. The developments are expected to create or sustain hundreds of local jobs and generate meaningful economic benefits for the City of Dallas, Dallas County, and the greater Metroplex.
The addition of DAL and RBD will increase Sky Harbour's network to 23 airports nationwide, with nine locations in operation and fourteen in development.
Tal Keinan, Sky Harbour CEO, commented: "Dallas is already one of the most robust business aviation markets in the United States, and is also among the fastest growing. Sky Harbour's three Dallas locations, Love Field, Dallas Executive, and our already-operating campus at Dallas Addison, serve distinct segments of the Dallas market. We see advantages in clustering Sky Harbour campuses in the nation's deepest business aviation markets, manifesting in more tailored solutions to the respective business aviation communities and in significant opex and capex benefits. We are grateful for the partnership of the City of Dallas throughout this multi-year process."
"The addition of Sky Harbour at Dallas Executive and Dallas Love Field is one we believe will create vital infrastructure that has a positive, long-term economic impact on the city, especially in Southern Dallas," said Patrick Carreno, Director of Aviation. "We look forward to welcoming Sky Harbour to our airports and having them as a valued partner in the aviation ecosystem."
Sky Harbour's DAL and RBD campuses will feature six 37,000-square-foot SH37 hangars designed to accommodate late-model business aircraft of all sizes, with adjacent suites and services tailored to the needs of each operator, providing Sky Harbour Residents with unparalleled security, efficiency, and control.
