Phase I and II plans to privately build aircraft hangars at the
Kalamazoo/Battle Creek International Airport (KBCIA) have been
completed, according to Kalamazoo Aviation President Bob Stoops and
his vice president, Michael McCormick.
The project has been a showcase partnership between private
initiatives, local government and the KBCIA. Job creation and
significant financial investment has been made in Kalamazoo with
benefits to Kalamazoo County through a land lease contract, the
airport, fuel and maintenance businesses located at the airport, as
well as aircraft owners and clubs.
Opened for occupancy December 1st, twenty (19) of twenty-one
(21) of the new hangars have rental commitments from tenants. A
wait list is being developed for Phase III
The phase I building is comprised of 15 personalized hangars,
17,000 square feet and housing over $2,000,000 in aircraft. The
phase II building has six hangars and 10,000 square feet configured
for larger aircraft, providing facilities that are not available at
most airports in southwest Michigan. Of the twenty-two aircraft
hangared in Kalamazoo, eighteen (18) aircraft have relocated from
other airports to the full service facilities that KBCIA
offers.
Phase III through IV plans include an additional fifteen (15)
general aviation hangars and a corporate facility accommodating
four to six hangars for larger business aircraft with a common
reception facility, reducing costs for potential customers and
adding convenience for passengers without compromising
security.
