Freeman Holdings Group, the largest franchisee of the Million Air FBO chain, is adding additional hangar space at several of its facilities.&nbsp;The developments will allow for increased aircraft storage capacity at Grant County International Airport (KMWH) in Moses Lake, Washington; at Utah’s St. George Regional Airport (KSGU); and at Orlando Sanford International Airport (KSFB) in central Florida.
At KMWH, the 40,000-sq-ft hangar now under construction will have 30,825&nbsp;sq ft of aircraft storage space and 8,375 sq ft dedicated to integrated office suites with bathrooms and showers. The structure—which will more than quadruple the FBO’s existing hangar space upon completion in January 2027—will accommodate up to two Boeing Business Jet-class aircraft or a single B757 on a long-term basis, with provisions for shorter-term commitments for smaller aircraft.
Million Air St. George will soon break ground on a 22,500-sq-ft hangar. Also slated for completion in January, it will be the largest hangar on the field—capable of accommodating aircraft up to a Gulfstream G650 or Bombardier Global 6000—and will bring the facility up to more than 48,000 sq ft of aircraft shelter.
Lastly, at Million Air Orlando’s (KSFB) full-service facility, work is progressing on a 30,500-sq-ft hangar designed to accommodate the latest ultra-long-range business jets. With an anticipated completion date by June, it will bring the FBO to nearly 53,000 sq ft of aircraft shelter.

New developments at FBOs including regulations and noise issues; legal disputes; openings, acquisitions and mergers.
