Hillsboro Aviation, one of three service providers at Oregon’s Portland-Hillsboro Airport (KHIO), unveiled its new FBO last month. Located at the north end of the airport, the 19,000-sq-ft terminal building houses a reception area with fireplace, pilots’ lounge, snooze room, showers, flight planning area, exercise room, crew cars, onsite car rental and electric vehicle charging stations. An attached 32,000-sq-ft hangar can accommodate aircraft up to a G650 and serves as a base for Hillsboro’s maintenance, avionics, parts sales and charter fleet operations.


“The expansion has given us the space we need to accommodate our traffic and provides a luxurious experience to our customers who choose KHIO, an experience we know our clientele expects,” said company owner and president Max Lyons. The airport, 15 minutes from downtown Portland, offers a 6,600-foot main runway and, according to the FAA, sees 700 operations a day.
