Protecting your Investment

6 September 2022 Monmouth Jet Center

Your aircraft is a valuable investment that deserves to be cared for and protected. When not in use, you likely store your aircraft in a hangar, and for those who don’t have their own hangars, renting is the best option. Did you know you can request a hangar ahead of time to ensure your aircraft is secure and protected from the elements?

At Monmouth Jet Center we have short-term hangar rentals available for a range of different types of aircraft, and unlike large commercial airports, there’s no waiting list when you choose to request a hangar with us.

Request a Hangar

Planning a trip often involves a long to-do list, so be sure you add “request a hangar” to your list! Requesting a hangar with us is simple and straightforward, and we will do our best to accommodate your needs. As soon as you know the dates you’ll be storing your aircraft, please give us a call so we can reserve a hangar for you and have it ready upon your arrival.

If you’ve ever tried to rent hangar space at a commercial airport then you know availability can be scarce and sometimes you have to add your name to a waiting list. Unless you plan a year in advance there’s no guarantee that a hangar will be available when you need it. At smaller, executive airports like Monmouth Jet Center, we have year-round availability and we’re conveniently located close to the Jersey Shore, and just an hour drive to New York City, and several other popular vacation destinations.

Keep Your Investment Safe

Storing your aircraft in a hangar is essential to keeping it in top condition. Hangars protect your aircraft from the elements. In the same way you wouldn’t leave an expensive car parked outside on the street overnight, you shouldn’t leave your aircraft exposed and unprotected. When you rent a hangar from us you can rest assured that your aircraft is safe while you enjoy your trip.

Short Term Hangars at Monmouth

Short-term hangar rentals at Monmouth Jet Center are flexible and suited to your needs. Whether you’re traveling for business and only need a hangar for a few days, or you and your family are taking a summer vacation to the Jersey Shore and you’re interested in renting a hangar for a week or two, we have options for you. Although we can usually always accommodate you upon short notice, we recommend you plan ahead if possible, so please give us a call when you know your travel dates so we can reserve a hangar for your aircraft.

How To Prepare an Aircraft for Long Term Storage

12 July 2022 Around the Airport

As most pilots would agree they want to fly as often as possible, however life sometimes has other plans. If you find yourself needing long term storage for your aircraft, there are a few things you should consider. If you don’t already keep your aircraft in a hangar when you’re not using it, you should consider renting a hanger as it will best protect your investment. Leaving an aircraft on an outside tie down long term, while not using it often is a recipe for additional maintenance costs.

Hanger Space is your Best Option

If you won’t be using your aircraft for the foreseeable future, hangar space is the best option to protect your plane from elements like moisture which can cause multiple hush cost problems, birds looking for refuge and even sun damage which can fade your paint job, and the interior of your aircraft. The rent you pay for a hangar could pale in comparison to the kinds of expensive repairs an inactive plan stuck outside may need in 6 months. Inside a hanger you will keep your aircraft safe and keep the maintenance bill as low as possible.

What to Consider When Looking for a Hangar

Generally you can look at a wider range of airport locations when shopping for the best deal on hangars for storage, because proximity isn’t as important as it would be for frequent fliers. Monmouth Airport actually houses a number of aircraft for NY based clientele who enjoy the lower hangar rents than NY area airports, but they can still get from the city to their jet in an hour by car, or 20 minutes by helicopter.

Additionally, hangar spaces come in different sizes, so it’s important to make sure you get something big enough to comfortably house your aircraft but also not so big that you are paying for wasted space. All hangar spaces should offer electricity and water, if you need to vacuum, wash, or preheat and charge your aircraft battery. Some hangars at Monmouth Airport are also heated or come with a small flight office particularly helpful for small commercial operators.

Hangars at Monmouth Jet Center

Monmouth Jet Center has affordable hangars available where you will be paying a fraction of the price they charge at a busy airport like Teterboro. Additionally in most cases you don’t have to be on a waiting list for a hangar, they normally have them available immediately. Because you choose to store your aircraft at a smaller airport, you also enjoy lower fuel costs and a more relaxed class 2 airspace compared to the hectic airspace at a busy NY airport. Give our experts at Monmouth Jet Center a call today to answer any questions.

What you can and cannot do inside an aircraft hangar

8 March 2022 Monmouth Jet Center

You’ll find aircraft hangars at almost all airports, both larger commercial airports and smaller executive airports like Monmouth Jet Center. If an airport has received grants from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), it must abide by the federal regulations regarding proper aircraft hangar usage. In this article our team will discuss the primary uses of aircraft hangers, as well as their limitations. If you have any questions or would like to know more, please contact us at Monmouth Jet Center.

What is the primary purpose of an aircraft hangar?

The primary purpose of an aircraft hangar is aircraft storage. At smaller regional airports you can find hangar space available for rent, sometimes for purchase, and for those who are serious about flying you can even build a custom aircraft hangar with a land lease.

Many flying hobbyists and frequent flyers prefer to use executive airports instead of large commercial ones because there’s rarely a wait for hangar space, and smaller airports can more readily cater to your needs. Conveniently, you can have your aircraft serviced while it’s in the hangar, ensuring it’s in top condition and ready to go upon your return.

Aircraft hangar limitations

Under FAA guidelines, aircraft hangars cannot be used for the following purposes:

Operating a non-aviation business, like a car rental service, a storage facility for anything other than aircraft
Storing aircraft parts and materials (unless it is accompanied by an air worthy aircraft)
Long-term storage for aircraft that are out of service or no longer able to fly
Storage for explosive, corrosive, or otherwise dangerous materials and substances
Anything that blocks the entrance to the hangar, obstructing the aircraft’s path from entering and exiting the space
As a residence
For any activities that are deemed illegal by state and local laws
For storing large items that should be stored in a commercial storage facility, like furniture or cars
Any activities that disrupt and obstruct nearby hangars

Whether you are looking to rent an aircraft hangar for long-term use, or you’re interested in building a custom hangar for your personal aircraft, Monmouth Jet Center will help you find the option that works best for you.
