Hangar Types at Jabara Airport
Private Owner Box Hangars
Jabara's northeast Wichita location is convenient for pilots living in Derby, Andover, and eastern Sedgwick County. Private box hangars (45×50 to 60×65 feet) provide secure aircraft storage with room for tools and workshop space. Clear-span design maximizes usable floor area.
Flight Training & Multi-Aircraft Hangars
Wichita's flight training community uses Jabara as a primary training base. Multi-aircraft hangars (60×80 to 80×100+) accommodate training fleets with wide doors for efficient aircraft movement. We engineer for the demands of high-utilization training operations.
Corporate Aviation Hangars
Corporate operators seeking relief from KICT's traffic find Jabara's ILS-equipped runway ideal. Corporate hangars feature climate-controlled interiors, executive office space, and hangar doors sized for turboprop and light jet aircraft.
