What Sky Harbour does

Sky Harbour Group Corporation (NYSE: SKYH) is a US-based aviation infrastructure development company building a nationwide network of Home Base Operator (HBO) campuses for business aircraft. Founded in 2021 with its first campus at Houston's Sugar Land Regional Airport, the company has expanded to 22+ operational or in-development campuses across major US metropolitan markets including Dallas, Denver, Miami, Phoenix, Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, and Washington DC. Each campus is a closed, resident-only facility — distinct from traditional Fixed Base Operators (FBOs) that serve transient traffic — providing private climate-controlled hangars (Sky Harbour 16 and Sky Harbour 30 models) configured for specific aircraft types, adjoining office and lounge suites, 24/7 access, line services, and the shortest taxi-to-wheels-up times in business aviation (reported at 90 seconds at multiple campuses). Resident access is managed through a proprietary Smart Hangar App.

The business model is essentially a specialized real-estate infrastructure play: Sky Harbour enters long-term ground lease agreements with airport authorities (municipalities, port authorities, county governments) and develops purpose-built hangar campuses on those leased lands, then sub-leases hangar and office suite space to high-net-worth aircraft owners, flight departments, and corporate aviation operators under multi-year agreements. Revenue is recurring in nature with lease extensions driving renewal economics. Capital is raised through a combination of public equity (SPAC business combination with Yellowstone Acquisition Company in December 2021), tax-exempt warehouse facilities (J.P. Morgan, $200 million, 4.73% fixed), subordinated bonds ($150 million in January 2026), and direct acquisitions (CloudNine at Camarillo, $31 million in December 2024). FY2025 revenue reached $27.5 million (87% YoY growth) and the company reached operating cash flow breakeven in December 2025, with 2026 guidance of $42–46 million annualized revenue and $4–6 million adjusted EBITDA by year-end. Boston Omaha Corporation holds a 15.3% equity stake, valued at approximately $79.3 million as of December 31, 2025.
