Queensland FBO and charter operator Machjet International has finished construction of its new 4600 sqm hangar at Sunshine Coast Airport, expanding the company's ability to deliver critical services.
The new hangar has been built to house large private jets and has the flexibility to accommodate a variety of aircraft at any one time – from up to four Code C aircraft such as a Global Express, to six Challenger 605s, plus a number of smaller private jets.
“We’re really excited to be in the final stages of this project," said Machjet Managing Director Simon McDermott. "This hangar is purpose-built to meet the growing demand for executive jet and specialist aviation services, and it will allow us to support everything from luxury charter flights to aeromedical retrievals.
“In addition to the new hangar space, Machjet will introduce a premium executive lounge for travellers in the coming months, further enhancing its 24-hour Fixed Base Operations at the Sunshine Coast.
"Existing facilities already include private VIP lounges, executive boardrooms, and dedicated crew amenities, ensuring a seamless experience from arrival to departure.”
Part of the McDermott Aviation Group, Machjet operates a fleet of 13 aircraft from its 24-hour FBOs at Sunshine Coast and Cairns airports.
