Hangar Types at Pittsburg Airport
Private Owner Box Hangars
Pittsburg's location near the Missouri border makes it ideal for pilots in both states. Private box hangars (45×50 to 60×60 feet) provide secure aircraft storage with room for workshop space and equipment. Our clear-span Red Iron design maximizes usable floor area.
Corporate Aviation Hangars
With a 5,500-foot ILS-equipped runway and Jet-A fuel, Pittsburg serves corporate aviation accessing Southeast Kansas and the Four States region. Corporate hangars feature wide clear-span interiors, executive office suites, pilot facilities, and hangar doors sized for turboprop and light jet aircraft.
University & Flight Training Hangars
Pittsburg State University and the regional aviation community create demand for flight training facilities. We engineer hangars designed for training fleet storage, classroom space, and student pilot operations.
