One system for your whole hangar operation
You don't have a vacancy problem. You have an operations problem. Leases tracked in spreadsheets, compliance chased over email, reports assembled by hand. Hangar Direct replaces all of it with one platform built for airports, FBOs, and hangar owners.
What it actually costs to run this on spreadsheets
$10M+
Exposed at a Single Airport
When a tornado hit Nashville in 2020, one airport discovered its tenant insurance records were outdated. The gap between what was covered and what was lost exceeded $10 million at a single facility.
500+
Hours Lost to Paperwork Every Year
The average team managing 50+ hangars spends more than 500 hours annually chasing insurance certificates, lease renewals, and tenant documents. That is one full month of staff time, every year, on tasks the platform handles automatically.
1 in 5
Tenant Policies Lapse Before Anyone Notices
Without automated tracking, roughly one in five tenant insurance policies expires before it is caught. Every lapsed day is uninsured liability sitting on your ramp.
40 hrs
Saved Per Month, Per Location
Between lease admin, compliance follow-up, and reporting, Hangar Direct gives your team back roughly 40 hours every month. That is one full work week, every month, redirected to your actual job.

Built for how airports actually operate
01 — LEASE MANAGEMENT
Every lease type. Every tenant. One system.
Monthly, annual, ground, and transient leases all live in the same dashboard, with renewal dates, payment status, and tenant history attached to each one.
Stop toggling between spreadsheets, email threads, and filing cabinets. Hangar Direct gives your team a single view of every active lease, upcoming renewal, and tenant record. Set up automated renewal reminders, track payment history by tenant or hangar, and manage waitlists for high-demand spaces, all without leaving the platform.
Operators typically cut lease admin time by 70% within the first quarter.
02 — COMPLIANCE & RISK PROTECTION
Know about a lapsed policy the day it happens.
Insurance, renter agreements, and required documents are tracked per tenant with automated expiration alerts, so nothing falls through the cracks.
Your compliance dashboard shows every tenant's status at a glance: green, yellow, or red. When a policy is about to expire, the system notifies the tenant automatically. If it lapses, you see it immediately, not three months later during an audit. Generate compliance reports with one click for FAA reviews, board meetings, or internal audits.
Airports using Hangar Direct report near-zero compliance gaps after 90 days.
03 — TENANT SELF-SERVICE
Your tenants do their own paperwork. Finally.
Tenants upload insurance certificates, update aircraft info, sign documents, and view their lease details without calling or emailing your office.
Every tenant gets a portal where they can see their lease, upload required documents, and respond to action items. Your team stops playing middleman. When a tenant uploads a new insurance certificate, it is automatically linked to their record. When something is missing, the system flags it to them first, then to you if they do not act.
Self-service portals reduce inbound admin requests by up to 80%.
04 — REPORTING & AUDIT READINESS
Reports that don't take a week to build.
Occupancy summaries, lease expiration forecasts, revenue breakdowns, and compliance snapshots, generated on demand, not assembled by hand.
Stop pulling data from four different systems to build a board report. Hangar Direct generates the reports your stakeholders actually need: current occupancy rates, upcoming lease expirations, revenue by hangar or tenant type, and compliance status across your portfolio. Export to PDF or CSV in one click.
Airport managers save 8-15 hours per month on reporting alone, as part of the 40 hours per month recovered across all admin tasks.
05 — MARKETPLACE INTEGRATION
When you do have a vacancy, it fills itself.
Your available hangars are listed on the same marketplace pilots already use to find space. Booking requests flow directly into your dashboard with tenant details and payment. No cold calls, no separate listing sites, no unqualified leads.
Operators fill vacancies 3x faster with marketplace-sourced leads.
06 — WAITLISTS & MULTI-LOCATION
From one field to your whole network.
Manage waitlists with automatic ranking and notification. When space opens, the next qualified tenant is alerted instantly. Running multiple locations? One system, one login, and organization-wide reporting across every airport you manage.
Multi-location operators cut cross-site admin overhead by 50%.
