Aircraft hangars:7 Questions to take into account to choose the right one.

What do you want to store in it: use and need for space.

The first thing you should keep in mind to choose the right hangar is what do you want to do and save in it.

Is it going to be just a space for aircraft or do you want space for a workshop or storage in it, in addition to space to store the ship or fleet that you already have?

Is it going to be for logistics use for your company, or are you going to rent the space to third parties to store their aircraft?

What space needs do you have according to the use you have planned for your detachable hangar?

However, keep in mind that VALL removable hangars are adaptable, their size can be easily reduced or increased in a short time. But you always want to start with the right one for the initial use you plan to give it.

 

How is the location: dimensions of the available space.

Do you already have the land where you are going to locate your aircraft hangar? In that case you need to know their dimensions and those required by aircraft to operate In order to understand how this influences the choice of hangar dimensions.

In some countries and for some types of use of aircraft storage spaces exist legal requirements that must be met. Check if they exist in the location and for the use that interests you. Because if so, it must be kept in mind and that can determine the choice of the hangar in terms of dimensions or some technical aspects.

Accessibility.

This is another important issue to consider. If it is a hangar for several aircraft, take into account the entry and exit access and how to move within the hangar it is important. It's easiest when it's a space for a single plane, where entry and exit points are obvious.

The objective is to achieve the best possible accessibility for the use you have planned for the aircraft hangar.

Availability and estimated execution time.

Every day that it takes you to be able to use the hangar is a day that you lose the opportunities or profits that its use provides you.

At VALL we are very fast and we work in record time. So in a few days you can have the aircraft hangar you need operational and use it safely. Ask us to have realistic forecasts for your specific case.
