Salt Lake City International Airport and Sky Harbour Group Corporation (NYSE American: SKYH, SKYH WS) announced today the execution of a lease agreement for the development of a Sky Harbour Home Base hangar campus on 8.4 acres at Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC), serving Salt Lake City and the greater Rocky Mountain region.
The Sky Harbour campus will offer “the best Home Base in business aviation” and compliment Sky Harbour’s current development at Centennial Airport (APA) in Denver to house the Rocky Mountain area’s top corporate and privately-owned business jets in state-of-the art hangars, with line-services dedicated exclusively to based tenants, offering “the shortest time to wheels-up in business aviation.” The campus is expected to create or sustain hundreds of local jobs and generate significant economic benefits for the State of Utah, Salt Lake City, and Salt Lake City International Airport.
“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, Salt Lake City Department of Airports. “We look forward to working with Sky Harbour to augment SLC’s business aviation industry.”
Tal Keinan, Sky Harbour’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “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. 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.”
The Salt Lake City International Airport campus joins Sky Harbour campuses now operating at Houston’s Sugar Land Regional Airport (SGR), Nashville International Airport (BNA), Miami Opa-Locka Executive Airport (OPF), and San Jose Mineta International Airport (SJC); campuses in development at Denver’s Centennial Airport (APA), Phoenix Deer Valley Airport (DVT), Dallas’s Addison Airport (ADS), Chicago Executive Airport (PWK), Bradley International Airport (BDL), Hudson Valley Regional Airport (POU), Orlando Executive Airport (ORL), Dulles International Airport (IAD), and New York Stewart International Airport (SWF); and additional campuses anticipated to be announced soon.
