The Moore County Airport recently celebrated the groundbreaking of two new corporate aircraft hangars that will further strengthen the airport’s role as a regional business aviation hub and support economic investment throughout Moore County.
The groundbreaking ceremony, held at the airport, brought together state and local elected officials, airport leaders, business representatives and members of the aviation community to mark the beginning of construction on the new facilities.
Upon completion, the hangars will be occupied by defense contractors Titan Echelon and AVA Technologies, two growing firms whose work supports national security, aerospace, technology development and specialized government operations.
The project represents another significant milestone in the airport’s ongoing expansion efforts, which include additional hangar development, construction of a new Fixed Base Operator (FBO) terminal building, and continued work toward the return of commercial air service.
SBS Sandhills Building Systems has designed the new corporate hangars and adjacent hangar infrastructure. Construction is expected to be completed in mid-2027.
“Today’s groundbreaking represents another important step in the continued evolution of Moore County Airport as a critical transportation and economic asset for our region,” said Adam Kiker, chairman of the Moore County Airport Authority, in a press release. “The demand for aviation facilities continues to be strong, and these new corporate hangars will allow us to better serve the business community while creating additional opportunities for investment and economic activity. We are proud to welcome Titan Echelon and AVA Technologies to the airport and look forward to supporting their future investments.”
