Fargo Jet Center (FJC), the lone FBO at Hector International Airport (KFAR) in North Dakota, has broken ground on a  112,000-sq-ft hangar and office complex. The $22 million project will consist of a 27,000-sq-ft maintenance hangar to house the company’s growing Part 145 repair station, and a 23,000-sq-ft hangar dedicated to FJC’s aircraft special-mission modification business and aerospace engineering department. Both hangars will feature 30-foot-high doors to accommodate ultra-long-range aircraft.

The expansion will also provide a headquarters for sister company Weather Modification International, FJC’s flight school, and free up space in its existing 126,000 sq ft of hangars for based and transient aircraft. Construction is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of next year.

“This expansion will help accommodate the growing aviation needs of the Fargo region and better serve clients that bring their aircraft to us from all over the world,” said Fargo Jet Center president Jim Sweeney. “The investment in facilities and equipment is a commitment to supporting our team members, fostering new opportunities, and improving our customer experience.”
