On Thursday, February 12, Tampa International Airport (TPA) officials joined FBO Sheltair Aviation to open a new hangar on the airport campus, located on the north side of Runway 10-28.
The new maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facility at 4300 W. Tampa Bay Blvd. features 50,880 ft² of hangar space, 8,344 ft² of office and workshop space, and a 50,000 ft² apron for aircraft staging and refuelling. The hangar can accommodate large-cabin and narrow-body aircraft, including up to three Boeing Business Jets, and includes a specialised tail door system designed to handle larger airframes.
This marks the ninth hangar complex at TPA. Sheltair’s previous major expansion at the airport opened in 2023 and included a four-hangar addition adjacent to its main complex on the south side of the airport’s crosswind runway.
“The new MRO hangar represents the future of business aviation at Tampa International Airport,” said Lisa Holland, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sheltair. “From day one, our goal was to create a facility that not only meets today’s operational needs but anticipates tomorrow’s. The completion of this new facility is the culmination of years of thoughtful planning, investment and collaboration, and we are proud to welcome our tenants, partners and guests into this exceptional new space.”
