HangarDirect

HangarDirect pairs a public marketplace for finding, renting, and buying hangar space with a back-office platform for managing the leases behind it. Founder and CEO Trenton Ray, a Phenom 300 pilot, started the company after struggling to find hangar space away from home base; its stated mission is to become the source of truth for all hangar space in the United States.

The management side handles the lease lifecycle for monthly, annual, ground, and transient leases, tracks insurance and compliance expirations, lets tenants upload documents themselves, tracks payments, and issues invoices. It is cloud software with iOS and Android apps, marketed to airports, FBOs, and hangar owners from roughly ten hangars to portfolios of more than 500. The company claims operators typically cut lease administration time by 70% in the first quarter, save about 40 hours a month per location, fill vacancies three times faster through marketplace listings, and go live in under a week; a testimonial cites Cutter Aviation's Georgetown, Texas location.

HangarDirect lists iFlightPlanner, Smokehouse Pilots Club, NATA, and NBAA as partners. Pricing and the company's headquarters are not published on its site.
