Stax

Stax is hangar stacking and space planning software from Stax Aviation Group. It is a hangar tool for FBOs (a company that serves private aircraft on the ground) and hangar operators.

It covers stack layouts with real aircraft dimensions, customer and fleet records, tenant scheduling and notifications, movement logging, and occupancy and revenue tracking.

Hangar stacking and space planning

• Build stack layouts with real aircraft dimensions and stacking logic. Hangar stacking means planning how aircraft fit inside a hangar.
• Model multiple layouts and aircraft configurations before a build to plan space use.
• Share visualizations with architects and contractors to align on space, access and utility flow.
• Find likely bottlenecks, space waste and reposition delays before they happen.
• See which spaces are occupied, reserved or open across hangars and ramps in one screen.
• Plan for new aircraft and decide if the facility can fit them or needs a reconfiguration.

Operations, records and movement tracking

• Keep customer and fleet records in one place: aircraft, contacts, movement history and special requirements.
• Store custom stacking rules and handling notes for tenants and transient aircraft.
• Use tenant scheduling and notifications to manage space assignments and movement alerts.
• Log every arrival, departure, reposition and tow in a searchable, auditable movement log. A tow is moving an aircraft with a tug.
• View real time hangar inventory to manage day to day activity.

Occupancy, reporting and revenue modeling

• Track occupancy, aircraft movements and space use to see what is generating revenue.
• Forecast future revenues by modeling different stacking configurations, aircraft types and tenant schedules.
• Generate detailed reports on space usage, aircraft frequency, movement trends and revenue impact for internal operations, compliance and ownership groups.

Consulting, platforms and scope

• Hangar design and planning consulting is available. Use Stax during the design and build phase to plan hangars before the concrete is poured.
• Do layout modeling and revenue modeling under different design and build scenarios.
• Collaborate with architects and contractors using shared visualizations.
• Runs natively on Windows, MacOS, iPadOS and Android on desktops, laptops or tablets in dark or light mode.
• Scope and limits: STAX is a hangar tool, not a full FBO suite, and fuel and line service tools are not described.
