SC Aviation breaks ground on $3.5 million, 30,000-sq-ft hangar at KJVL in Wisconsin

SC Aviation has broken ground on a new hangar at Rock County Airport (KJVL) in Janesville, Wisconsin, marking the operator's fourth hangar at the facility. The 30,000-square-foot structure is projected to cost $3.5 million and is designed to accommodate ultra-long-range jets, with construction expected to be completed in March 2027.

The airport sits close to SC Aviation's headquarters in Janesville. The operator's current fleet includes two Falcon 2000s and a Falcon 7X among its largest aircraft. Adam Singer, SC Aviation Vice President, said: "SC Aviation's groundbreaking represents both a celebration of our history and an investment in our future. For 80 years, our customers have trusted us to deliver exceptional service, safety, and operational excellence. This new hangar ensures we have the infrastructure to support our continued growth, better serve aircraft owners and charter clients, and create opportunities for our team for decades to come."

Hangar construction sized for ultra-long-range jets signals an operator positioning its ground infrastructure ahead of fleet composition, rather than simply adding parking space for existing aircraft. A facility built to that specification can accommodate larger cabins and longer wingspans than SC Aviation's current Falcon 2000s and Falcon 7X require, which points toward anticipated growth in aircraft owners and charter clients seeking that category.

For FBOs and charter operators generally, hangar capacity near a home base is a constraint on how much fleet growth and third-party aircraft management a company can take on, so new construction at a facility like KJVL is often a leading indicator of expansion plans rather than a reaction to current demand alone. Completion in March 2027 will be the point at which that capacity becomes available, and whether SC Aviation's fleet or managed-aircraft roster grows to match it is the detail still to be disclosed.
