Sheltair is upgrading its FBO complex at New York’s Long Island MacArthur Airport, company senior vice president of real estate and development Todd Anderson announced today. Sheltair's projects include upgrades to two hangars, improved drainage, updated customer parking, and repaved ramp and tie-down areas, as well as the removal of outdated fuel tanks. These investments come on the heels of Sheltair’s ongoing modernization of its 66,000-sq-ft hangar at Republic Airport in East Farmingdale, Long Island. The latest efforts bring Sheltair’s investment in updates to this facility to $1.1 million.

"General aviation serves as a crucial transportation link for Long Island businesses and the economy as a whole, with Long Island MacArthur Airport playing a vital role in supporting that function,” Anderson said. “Our sustained commitment to serving that segment of the aviation community continues to be self-evident through our investment under way at Long Island MacArthur, as well as our other properties in the New York metro area.”

Sheltair also provides FBO support at New York JFK and La Guardia Airports and continues to expand its FBO chain in other states, including Florida and Georgia.
