September 26, 2024 (Fargo, ND) – Fargo Jet Center (FJC) is excited to announce the grand opening of its cutting-edge $25 million, 112,000-square-foot hangar and office complex at Fargo’s Hector International Airport (KFAR). A ribbon-cutting ceremony, held on September 20, 2024, celebrated the completion of this major facility expansion, designed to enhance FJC’s maintenance, avionics, and special mission modification services, while also providing much-needed aircraft storage space. The facility will also serve as the headquarters for sister company Weather Modification International (WMI), a global leader in atmospheric research and weather modification services.

“Our new hangar and office complex allows us to expand our services, increase efficiency, and take on more complex and specialized work,” said Jim Sweeney, President of Fargo Jet Center. “The investment in state-of-the-art equipment and technology positions us to meet these demands while delivering a seamless, top-tier experience for our clients.”

The complex includes a 27,000-square-foot maintenance hangar, a 23,000-square-foot hangar for special mission modifications, and dedicated spaces for composite fabrication, paint, sheet metal work, and avionics. With 30-foot-tall doors, the new hangars, among the largest in the upper Midwest, are designed to accommodate large corporate aircraft, including the Bombardier Global 8000.

Additionally, the expansion repurposes 32,000 square feet of existing hangar space for increased aircraft storage, supporting both based and transient fleets. With U.S. Customs services located adjacent to FJC’s passenger terminal, which will clear nearly 800 international flights in 2024, the new facility strengthens FJC’s ability to support ultra-long-range corporate aircraft from around the globe.

This expansion also delivers significant economic benefits to the region, creating new jobs in the aviation industry and bringing more specialized work to the Fargo area. Fargo Jet Center’s footprint now spans 328,000 square feet across 11 acres at Fargo’s Hector International Airport (KFAR), reinforcing its position as a key player in both the aviation industry and the local economy.
