SkyShare is stepping into the pilot’s seat at South Valley Regional Airport in West Jordan, taking over as the full-service fixed-base operator and promising a top-to-bottom makeover of the field’s front door. The company plans a major remodel of the FBO, roughly 50 new T-hangars, a community box hangar and a grand opening targeted for this fall. It will assume fueling, ground services, and hangar leasing across a large portion of the airport, a move executives pitch as a direct response to a chronic hangar shortage that has left some aircraft owners stuck on multi-year waitlists.
Salt Lake City’s Department of Airports has formally selected SkyShare to run South Valley’s FBO and to manage hangar and office leasing across about 650,000 square feet, according to KSL. Private Jet Card Comparisons reports that SkyShare will remodel the FBO, start construction this year on 50 new T-hangars and a large community hangar, and provide Jet A and avgas fueling, ground power, lavatory services, overnight hangar options, maintenance support and concierge services for both passengers and pilots.
Runway, Capacity And Demand
The airport authority lists South Valley’s single runway at 5,862 feet and says the field supports business aviation, flight training and emergency operations. Data from the Salt Lake City Department of Airports details runway length, pavement ratings and on-field facilities that together make the airport viable for a broad mix of corporate aircraft.
What SkyShare Will Offer
SkyShare markets itself as a one-stop private-aviation shop, offering fractional ownership, charter, brokerage and aircraft management alongside its FBO services. SkyShare frames the South Valley Regional (SVR) agreement as part of that integrated strategy, and the company’s SkyShare careers listings show open line, front-office and maintenance roles as it staffs up ahead of the renovation work.
Why This Matters For Flyers
More hangars and a refreshed FBO could ease some of the strain on the Salt Lake area’s general-aviation ecosystem by increasing overnight capacity and expanding local services for aircraft owners and charter operators. Private Jet Card Comparisons notes that Salt Lake ranked among the nation’s busier private-jet markets in 2025 and that demand for hangar space in the region has been outpacing available supply.
Renovations and rebranding at South Valley Regional are expected to get underway soon, with a SkyShare-run grand opening planned for this fall and Jared Esselman set to oversee day-to-day operations, according to KSL. Salt Lake City airport director Bill Wyatt has called South Valley “a diamond in the rough” and says that additional hangar capacity could unlock future growth at the field.
