Aviation Real Estate

Aviation real estate companies

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. Customers 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 commit to a purchase 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. Ask who maintains the runway and shared roads in an airpark, and what the community fees cover.

Companies here are based across the United States, the United Kingdom, France, the United Arab Emirates, Switzerland, Germany, South Africa, New Zealand, Australia and Malaysia, among others.
