Aircraft delivery company plans new hangar at Eisenhower airport

An aircraft and helicopter ferrying and delivery company plans to build a hangar at Wichita Eisenhower National Airport.

Aviation Dynamix, under a separate limited liability company named Hangar Dynamix, will use the 22,000-square-foot hangar to store airplanes and helicopters for delivery as well as transient aircraft, president Andre Grosvenor said Monday.

Grosvenor said the new hangar will be especially useful to the 14-year-old company for new aircraft it delivers to overseas customers and that are processed through U.S. Customs.

“That’s where this hangar can be a benefit to us,” Grosvenor said.

He said Aviation Dynamix does business with Textron Aviation Cessna, Bombardier and Gulfstream.

The new hangar will be located roughly east of the new terminal at Eisenhower.

Grosvenor said he hopes to be able to move into the new hangar in the next six to eight months.

Before construction starts, the site will need access to utilities. On Tuesday, the Wichita City Council, acting as the Wichita Airport Authority, is expected to vote on a $314,000 project for the installation of utilities there. According to city documents, the project will be funded with airport funds and general obligation bonds repaid with airport revenue.

Hangar Dynamix plans to enter into a lease with the airport authority for the property.
