Orlando Sanford International Airport Starts Site Work to Build Commercial Aircraft Hangar

SANFORD - Spolski Construction Inc. of Sanford has started site work at Orlando Sanford International Airport to build the airport’s largest hangar at 2551 Hellcat Lane.

Diane Crews, vice president of administration for the Sanford Airport Authority (SAA), said the $5 million project will result in the airport’s first commercial aviation hangar, a 53,351 square foot facility that includes 44,000 square feet of hangar space, 4,000 square feet of maintenance shop and 5,351 square feet of office space.

When the hangar facility opens in January 2011, the Sanford Airport Authority will lease the facilities to Avocet Capital, LLC. The SAA Board recently approved a 20-year lease agreement with the commercial aviation maintenance provider.

Avocet currently leases more than 36,000 square feet of space at Orlando Sanford International Airport and will relocate to the new facility upon completion, Crews said.
