The agreement enables SkyShare to add hangar capacity and a revamped FBO experience for its fractional and management customers.
Fractional operator SkyShare has been selected to operate the FBO at South Valley Regional Airport in West Jordan, Utah.
SVR is located 10 miles south of Salt Lake City International Airport.
Its 5,862-foot runway can accommodate super mid-size jets.
The agreement with the Salt Lake City Department of Airports sees SkyShare operating the airport’s full-service FBO.
It will also manage hangar and office leasing and development across approximately 650,000 square feet of property, including existing T hangars, community hangar space, and office facilities.
FBO services include Jet A and AvGas fueling, ground power, lavatory services, overnight hangar options, maintenance support, and concierge services for passengers and pilots.
CEO Cory Bengtzen said, “South Valley Regional isn’t just another airport to me,” adding, “It’s where I learned to fly and earned my private pilot certificate more than 20 years ago.”
Bengtzen also kept his first airplane at the airport.
“This truly feels like coming home,” he said.
Bengtzen says SkyShare will use the contract to help solve a shortage of hangar space.
According to the company, “Demand has significantly exceeded supply, with some aircraft owners waiting more than four years for availability.”
Construction on 50 new T hangars and a large community box hangar is planned to begin this year.
There will also be a full remodel of the FBO.
Aviation veteran Jared Esselman will manage day-to-day operations at SVR.
Salt Lake City Department of Airports Executive Director Bill Wyatt said, “SVR is a diamond in the rough with an incredible potential for future growth and development.”
SkyShare said the agreement reflects its “commitment to delivering fully integrated aviation solutions, including fractional ownership, charter, brokerage, aircraft management, and FBO services.”
SLC ranked 19th among the busiest airports for private jets in 2025.
Delta Air Lines operates a major hub at the airport, whereas SVR is dedicated to private aviation.
