Pentastar Aviation, a partner in global private aviation services, broke ground on Hangar 1964, a new facility at the Oakland County International Airport.
Spanning tens of thousands of square feet and just a short distance from Pentastarβs existing terminal, the new build will feature a private aircraft hangar, as well as a passenger lounge, office complex, attached auxiliary areas and conference rooms.
Construction will be fully underway in the third quarter of 2023 and is expected to be complete by late 2024. Sidock Group is the engineering, construction and architectural partner on the project.

Ford II, Pentastar Aviation owner. βHaving been in the ownership seat for more than two decades, it is a point of pride for me to experience Pentastarβs remarkable growth and dedication to exceeding expectations at every touchpoint as we help people travel throughout the country and around the world.β
The new facility represents Pentastarβs dedication to offering an unparalleled travel experience to its customers through robust service offerings not offered anywhere else.
