The Orlando Apopka Airport is a privately owned airport that services both commercial clients and private individuals.  The airport, identified by location as X04, is centrally located and just Northwest of Metro Orlando on US Route 441.  It has been built in a convenient location, about ten miles east of Sanford and sixteen miles northwest of Orlando.  The 429 expressway is only two miles away.  That means travelers can get to any of Orlando's most important destinations in less than a half hour.  That includes Downtown Orlando, prominent Orlando attractions and the Orlando International Airport.  The airport is less congested than other major airports in the area and the area contains light traffic, which means less delays waiting for clearance. 

 

However, the best reason to work with the Orlando Apopka Airport is because of the advantages the airport offers its travelers in regards to owning their own aircraft.  More owners are coming to understand the benefits of buying their own land and hangar rather than continuing to lease them.  This allows them to save on time, worry and money, having to arrange for a rental hangar every time a new year rolls around.  The fact of the matter is that hangars are always in demand, as there are many more aircraft that need storage then there are available hangars.  What happens when you decide to rent a hangar for your aircraft but then discover that there are no available hangars anywhere nearby?  Then you will have to leave your precious machine out in the open where it will be susceptible to damage.  Because the Orlando Apopka Airport is a privately owned, it maintains control over its own land.  Therefore, the airport has offered to sell the land and future hangars to individual real estate developers.

 

If you are faced with the decision to rent or to buy your own hangar, then first consider how much your aircraft investment is worth.  If you plan on owning an aircraft for many years it's only practical to buy a hangar rather than run the risk of renting one month by month or year by year.  Otherwise, you will be at the mercy of whoever owns the rental hangar.  What if the owner rents it to someone else or decides he or she wants to use the hangar?  Then your machine will have stay outside, subject to the worst of exterior elements. 

 

Statistics show that there are more planes being built today, even though there is a decrease in the amount of available hangars and of available airports.  In fact, most airports that you know have a history of at least 50 years.  Most of these properties were built in the World War II era, when land was much cheaper and more plentiful.  The only way to build an airport now is to put one on your own land; of course no one wants an airport in their neighborhood, least of all their own backyard.  What has happened is that the government has increased land value and created various regulations to ensure that few if any airports are ever built around highly populated areas.

 

The point being that investing in land and hangars is a definite advantage and one that might not be around forever.  To find out other advantages of a self-owned hangar visit www.OrlandoApopkaAirport.com
