Sky X, a full-service FBO at Louisiana’s Hammond Northshore Regional Airport (KHDC), has officially opened the doors of its new facility.
Prior to opening its new terminal, Sky X successfully began FBO operations late last year out of its existing avionics facility, building a reputation for personalised service and technical expertise.
The company is the region’s only FBO offering FAA/DOT-approved maintenance, an AOG Rapid Response Team, an FAA-certified repair station and FAA Part 135 charter operations – all on site.
The opening of the newly constructed FBO facility marks the completion of the first phase of a nearly two-year development project. The centrepiece of the new facility is a 10,000 sq ft FBO terminal that is designed to deliver an exceptional experience for pilots, passengers and crew alike.
Upon entering the elegant new lobby, guests are welcomed into a space where contemporary design meets elevated comfort. Premium finishes and modern architecture create an inviting environment intentionally designed for both luxury and functionality.
The facility features an upscale passenger lounge, a fully equipped executive conference room with seating for 14 and full A/V, a private movie theatre, a recreation lounge complete with a pool table, private shower suites, and a complimentary beverage bar.
Supporting the terminal is a new 30,000 sq ft hangar providing secure, premium storage for both transient and based aircraft. The hangar is capable of accommodating a Bombardier Global 8000, ensuring Sky X can support a wide range of business aviation operations.
Phase two of construction is slated for completion this autumn and will feature two additional 30,000 sq ft hangars with the same capacity as the above.
Rob Scariano, President and founder of Sky X, said: “Our new facility represents an exciting new chapter for Sky X and reinforces our commitment to delivering a world-class experience tailored to our customers’ needs. From our modern amenities and expansive hangar space to our tailored concierge support, every aspect of our operation was designed with customers in mind. We look forward to welcoming them to the new standard of aviation service in Louisiana’s Greater Gulf Region.”
