Lux Aire Jet Centers, the GYR fixed base operator, completed a state-of-the-art $10 million project in 2016, including three large corporate hangars, and a modern office space supporting corporate aviation.
Additionally, GYR is home to AerSale, a large MRO facility, performing heavy maintenance and storage for aircraft up to a B-777. In 2021, United Airlines opened the United Aviate Academy (UAA) flight training school at GYR. UAA is expanding, with additional Cirrus aircraft and will train nearly 500 pilots a year.
GYR has invested more than $24 million in capital projects the last seven years including repaving the runway and taxiway and constructing T hangar aprons. Over the next five years, the airport Capital Improvement Plan has identified about $45 million in infrastructure improvements.
