Commercial Aviation Sellers
There Is No Public Comp Set For A Hangar Complex.That Is Exactly The Point.
Commercial aviation property is difficult to value because the data is not public. Ground lease terms are negotiated privately, fuel volume sits on an operator's books, and most transactions in this asset class never surface in a public record. AV8 Realty works here every day, and that is where both the number and the buyer come from.

Why These Assets Are Different
The Data A General Broker Needs Simply Isn't Published
Commercial aviation real estate is difficult to place a valuation on, and the reason is structural. There is very little public data. Lease terms are private, operating numbers sit on the owner’s books, and comparable transactions rarely surface anywhere a general broker can find them.
So that broker does the only thing available and comps your hangar against industrial square footage. It is not a small error. It prices the building and ignores the business, the lease and the field.
What We Look At Instead
- Ground lease term and renewal options remaining
- Based aircraft and hangar occupancy mix
- Fuel volume and margin history
- Tenant mix, lease rollover and rent roll durability
- Airport sponsor posture on assignment and transfer
- Field constraints: runway length, approach, taxiway access, room to expand
None of these appear in an industrial comp set. All of them appear in ours.
"We don't hand you a number off a comp set, because for this asset class the comp set doesn't exist. We build the picture from your lease, your operation and what we see actually trading."
