Sky Harbour Group Corporation announced that the DeKalb County Board of Commissioners authorized a ground lease for a new 13‑acre Home‑Base Operator campus at DeKalb‑Peachtree Airport (PDK) in Atlanta, Georgia. The authorization, granted on November 18, 2025, was publicly disclosed on November 19, 2025, and the campus will provide state‑of‑the‑art hangar space for late‑model business jets, office facilities, a sizable ramp, and automobile parking.
The new PDK campus is projected to create or sustain roughly 600 local jobs and generate more than $500 million in revenue for DeKalb County over the 50‑year lease. Community members have expressed concerns about noise, traffic, and environmental impact, but county officials emphasize that the project will not accommodate larger aircraft and is expected to reduce repositioning flights, thereby mitigating some of those concerns.
This development marks Sky Harbour’s 20th home‑base location and extends its nationwide network of dedicated hangar campuses into one of the United States’ most dynamic business‑aviation markets. By targeting high‑growth airports with limited competition, the company aims to capture premium demand and reinforce its strategy of building a “Manhattan” of airport sites.
Sky Harbour’s expansion comes amid a period of accelerated revenue growth and improving profitability. In the third quarter of 2025, the company reported revenue of $7.3 million, up 78% year‑over‑year, while its net loss narrowed from $20.7 million in the same quarter of 2024 to $4.65 million. The company is pursuing operating cash‑flow breakeven by year‑end 2025 and has secured a $200 million tax‑exempt drawdown facility with JPMorgan to fund future projects.
CEO Tal Keinan described the PDK deal as a “triple win” for the county, the business‑aviation community, and the airport itself, underscoring the strategic fit of the project within Sky Harbour’s growth plan. CFO Francisco Gonzalez highlighted the company’s financing strategy, noting that the new facility will be supported by the recently secured tax‑exempt facility.
In the competitive landscape, Atlanta’s airport system offers limited hangar capacity relative to the growing demand for business‑jet storage. Sky Harbour’s entry into PDK positions it to capture a share of this premium market, while its nationwide network provides economies of scale and operational leverage.
Overall, the DeKalb‑Peachtree campus represents a significant milestone for Sky Harbour, reinforcing its expansion strategy, delivering tangible economic benefits to the local community, and strengthening its foothold in a high‑growth aviation market.
