Hawthorne Global Aviation Services and Chippewa Valley Regional Airport announce the construction of a new hangar project at Hawthorne’s Eau Claire airport location (KEAU). The addition of new hangar space expands capacity for aircraft lease space throughout the Eau Claire, Minneapolis and La Crosse region.
The new 22,500 square foot hangar is owned by the Chippewa Valley Regional Airport and will be managed by Hawthorne. The new hangar will be able to accommodate business aircraft up through the Gulfstream G650 and construction will be completed by the spring of 2023, and hangar space is available for lease.
“As the region we serve continues to grow, the Chippewa Valley Regional Airport continues to look for opportunities to accommodate the corresponding demand for aviation facilities,” said Charity Zich, Airport Director. “This new hangar will greatly increase our ability to capture additional demand for those looking for a convenient and accessible airport option.”
The Chippewa Valley Regional Airport is the premier airport in West Central Wisconsin. With a main runway capable of handling aircraft of almost any size, state of the art navigational aids, an air traffic control tower, as well as onsite aircraft rescue and firefighting capabilities, KEAU is well positioned to serve the needs of aviation users for the foreseeable future.
“Hawthorne has been proud to serve the community for more than 30 years, and the new hangar project enables us to provide even greater service to aircrafts in the region,” said Shawn Styer, General Manager at KEAU. “Whether an aircraft needs a permanent home or a place to stop when passing through, Hawthorne is here to provide best-in-class service and amenities.”
Hawthorne Global Aviation Services, whose roots go back to its first FBO in 1932, is a world class aviation services company and leader in general aviation services and airport management. With the backing of NOVA Infrastructure and Wafra Inc., Hawthorne has become a leading FBO acquisition and operating company committed to customer service and safety.
