General Aviation hangar opens at Katowice Airport

A hangar for General Aviation aircraft was put into service at Katowice Airport. The modern building is located in the south-western part of the airport, by aircraft apron no. 4. The hangar covers 5 452 sq m, is 41 metres deep, 11 metres high and 133 metres wide. When it comes to width, the building is the biggest hangar object currently available at the Airport. The building consists of three independent segments; each allows to store not only business aircraft (A-C code), but also helicopters. PROMUS sp. z o.o. was the main contractor responsible for the investment. The commissioning of the facility was combined with a presentation of a Gulfstream Aerospace aircraft; the company is one of the largest manufacturers of business jets in the world.

The Upper Silesian Aviation Group (Górnośląskie Towarzystwo Lotnicze S.A. – GTL S.A.), i.e. the company managing Katowice Airport, offers complex services for business clients and business jets. In the airport’s passenger terminals, there are two Fast Tracks which make the security control process easier, as well as two Business Lounges. The Business Customer Department at GTL S.A. provides, among others, assistance during check-in and private transportation between terminals and aircraft. Moreover, GTL S.A. holds a certificate and approval allowing to perform ground handling of General Aviation aircraft.

“I’m glad that our clients have appreciated the quality of service at Katowice Airport and decided to strengthen their relationship with the airport by successfully carrying out construction of a hangar for their business aircraft here. Our expansion program for Katowice Airport sees its south-western part dedicated for General Aviation infrastructure,” said Artur Tomasik, President of the Board of the Upper Silesian Aviation Group, the company managing Katowice Airport.
