Rent, buy or custom-build your aircraft hangar in New Jersey

Aircraft hangar space is in demand all along the East Coast and especially in the New Jersey Tri-State area. Private airports, such as Monmouth Executive Airport, have recently expanded their development, offering you the chance to rent, buy or custom-build your own aircraft hangar. So what’s the best choice for you?
  • Renting aircraft hangar space: The main benefit of this option is that it is available immediately and you can move your airplanes in as soon as possible. Renting also gives you flexibility in case you decide to change the size or location of your hangar in the future.
  • Buying a hangar: Purchasing your own hangar might be a larger once-off investment, but it does come with a few silver linings. Firstly, they appreciate in value due to the high demand and limited supply of hangar space. You can also use your hangar to provide additional rental income if you have space you aren’t using. Your hangar may also qualify as a 1031 tax-deferred exchange property and can be depreciated for tax purposes if you rent it out.
  • Custom-building your own hangar: In addition to the abovementioned benefits, you can also choose to have your hangar custom-built. This does mean you would have to wait and rent hangar space while construction is under way, but the result would be a hangar designed exactly according to your particular needs.

Four traits of top private jet pilots

The life of a private pilot is an exciting and demanding one – and, although each person is unique, the best pilots often have specific character traits which help them succeed in this challenging career path. This is often referred to as “The Pilot Personality.”
  1. Confident – but calm: Pilots are well known for keeping their emotions out of the cockpit, ensuring they are able to stay calm and in control as they fly. It’s not just about hearing that reassuring tone over the intercom, it’s also about being able to properly evaluate a situation and deal with it effectively, keeping passengers and crew safe.
  2. Detail-orientated: Pilots are trained to take in hundreds of small details, evaluate them and implement a solution all within an environment that is constantly changing. Their job is to consider every possible negative outcome and worst-case scenario, and then ensure none of them happen.
  3. Optimistic: All the top pilots share a passion for flight and with this comes a real sense of optimism. While their aim is to deliver you safely and on time to your destination, they also want to share their joy of flying. There aren’t many people as enthusiastic as pilots when it comes to sharing their profession – from showing you around their aircraft and answering questions to ensuring you have an enjoyable flight.
  4. Physical and mental fitness: For a job that requires a lot of sitting, being a great pilot involves constant monitoring of your physical and mental health. Fitness in both areas helps pilots to function at the height of their abilities, enhancing decision-making, positive energy and flight safety.
