News & Challenges:

01/05/2025  -  Los Angeles County plans to increase aviation hangar rates as much as 50%, while maintaining a 24% aviation hangar vacancy rate”

“Two KEMT hangar tenants, on behalf of 42 tenant petition signers, filed a Part 16 formal complaint against LAC alleging the county has habitually charged higher rents for aviation tenants and below fair market value rents for hangars being used for public storage. The county has responded, and complainants have 45 days to rebut.

LAC owns and manages 1089 aircraft hangars, 137 are currently being used for public storage, and 126 remain vacant, without demand. This phenomenon of 76% of hangars being used for aviation purposes is unique to Los Angeles County.  No other single airport or multiple airport system managed by a single sponsor in the nation has this high a hangar vacancy problem.  All surrounding airports in the So Cal region are full and have wait lists for hangar rental.

LAC’s recent hangar appraisal study confirms the Part 16 Complaint: All hangar types in the study were priced at higher rental rates than comparable or similar and competitive hangar types.  The complaint brings up two FAA grant assurance violation issues.

  • 1. LAC fails to offer its five county-owned airports to the public as airports fairly and reasonably, without discrimination.
  • 2. The county fails to meet the self-sustainability rules by charging below fair market value rents for non-aviation hangar tenants using aeronautic hangars for public storage AND failing to market empty hangars for aviation and non-aviation rental income.

Tenants at KEMT, KPOC, KWHP, and KCPM are encouraged to review the ACMG 2024 Aeronautic Rent Study for the proposed rent increases that range from 4% to 50 % and begin July 2025.  The study can be accessed on the County’s Aviation Division website.  Visit that page Here.

October 2024  -  Hangars - Rise in Costs imposed by the County have been cause for significant concern.  An initial filing was rejected because of a technical error.  The following is the resubmitted version.  The results are expected now (December 2024) but, may take a bit longer to be posted.
