About Hangar Direct
Your one place for hangar space.
How it started
Our CEO, Trenton Ray, is a Phenom 300 pilot who got caught in bad weather far from home. What followed was hours of phone calls, no central directory, and pressure to overpay for a space he needed for one night.
That experience exposed a problem every pilot knows and every airport manager feels from the other side: there is no single place to find, list, or manage hangar space in the United States. Pilots can't see what's available. Airports can't efficiently reach the demand that exists. Everyone is stuck trading phone calls and spreadsheets.
That's why Hangar Direct exists.
One platform, built for every side of the hangar transaction
For pilots and aircraft owners
Search by airport, state, or the specific plane you fly. Book a nightly stay, find a monthly lease, or shop hangars for sale. Verified listings, transparent pricing, secure payments, and direct messaging with owners.
For hangar owners and real estate agents
Listing is free and takes five minutes. Set your own price, reach pilots actively searching in your area, and manage everything through the platform. Independent owners can handle their leases and tenant documents in one place. Need more visibility? Promotional packages are available to put your listing in front of significantly more buyers and renters.
For FBOs, airports, and development projects
Hangar Direct is more than a marketplace. It's a full management platform built for larger operations that need to track leases, manage tenant compliance, handle insurance documentation, and report for FAA and GASB requirements. Replace the spreadsheets. Stop chasing tenants. Stay connected to the pilots already searching for space.
How it all ties together
The marketplace and the management platform run on the same system. When an FBO lists available space, pilots searching the marketplace find it. When a tenant uploads an insurance certificate, it flows into the operator's compliance dashboard. When a hangar sells or a lease expires, the waitlist moves automatically.
Every side of the transaction benefits from the other side being on the platform. More pilots searching means faster vacancy fills for operators. More verified listings means pilots actually find what they need. That's the network we're building.
Our mission
We're building the source of truth for all hangar space in the United States. A place where every available hangar is discoverable, every lease is manageable, and every pilot can find the space they need.
The aviation community has run on phone calls and word of mouth for a long time. It deserves better infrastructure. We're building it.
