Aviation Real Estate

Aviation real estate covers property where aircraft and buildings meet: homes with hangars in residential airparks, hangar and office space at airports, commercial property in airport zones, and advice for investors in aviation-linked sites. Buyers include private pilots who want to taxi from their front door, flight schools and maintenance shops looking for hangar space, and investors in airport property.

Before you buy or lease, check runway access and taxiway rights, hangar door size against your aircraft, airport ground lease terms, fuel and maintenance on the field, and any local noise or development restrictions.

The section is small, with 3 companies listed, including one in the United Kingdom and one in France:

• AV8 Realty, a boutique real estate agency in Palm City that pilots and aviation enthusiasts use.
• Aviation Real Estate Advisers, a property consultancy in York supporting investors in the aviation sector.
• Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield, a global property group.

Owners setting up at an airfield often need more than the building. See airports for locations, aircraft maintenance providers for on-field support, and aviation attorneys for lease and title work. If you are budgeting for a hangar alongside a jet, our breakdown of the real cost of owning and operating a private jet covers the main running costs.
