Hillsboro Aviation opens new FBO facility

By General Aviation News Staff · June 15, 2016 ·

PORTLAND, Ore. — Hillsboro Aviation officially opened its new FBO facility for business in May.

This marks the end of phase two of the company’s 425,000-square-foot expansion at the Portland-Hillsboro Airport (KHIO).

Hillsboro Aviation now boasts a 51,000-square-foot FBO with four acres of ramp space, along with a 32,000-square-foot hangar.

The expansion also includes two 12,000 gallon fuel tanks — one for Jet A and one with a baffle to accommodate both 100LL and LL-alternative fuels — a new addition to the operation’s fueling capabilities after the expansion.
