Sky Harbour Group Corporation has reported record financial performance for 2025, highlighting rapid growth, strong liquidity, and an aggressive nationwide expansion strategy as it continues building a network of Home Base Operator (HBO) campuses for business aviation.
The company confirmed it met key financial and operational targets, including site acquisition goals and achieving operating cash flow breakeven by the end of 2025.
Sky Harbour’s 2025 results reflect significant progress across core financial metrics. The company reported an 87% year-over-year increase in consolidated revenues, alongside improved operational efficiency.
Net cash used in operations dropped sharply to $2.3 million in 2025 from $9.1 million in 2024, signaling improved financial discipline and scaling efficiency. Meanwhile, liquidity remains robust, with $48 million in cash and U.S. Treasuries and access to a $200 million credit facility from J.P. Morgan.
At the subsidiary level, Sky Harbour Capital posted even stronger gains, with operating cash flow reaching $15.7 million, more than doubling from the previous year.
The company also confirmed compliance with all debt service covenants, reinforcing its stable financial position as it continues expanding.
Sky Harbour continues to scale its footprint across major U.S. aviation hubs. The company now operates campuses at key airports including:
In addition, multiple campuses are under construction or development, including projects in Chicago, Orlando, and Salt Lake City.
The company achieved its 2025 goal of securing nine additional ground leases, bringing its total portfolio to 23 airport ground leases. Once fully developed, these sites are expected to deliver approximately 4 million square feet of rentable space.
Construction activity is accelerating, with new phases underway and additional projects scheduled to begin in the coming months. The firm has also increased development resources to handle the anticipated surge in construction.
Sky Harbour reported strong leasing activity, with near full occupancy at all campuses opened prior to 2025. Newer locations are also gaining traction, with occupancy steadily rising.
The company has introduced a pre-leasing program, allowing tenants to secure space in advance at upcoming developments—an approach expected to support faster stabilization of new campuses.
Operationally, the company is focusing on improving efficiency, enhancing service quality, and maintaining safety standards across its growing portfolio.
To support its expansion, Sky Harbour has secured significant funding through both debt and capital markets.
In 2025, the company finalized a $200 million financing facility with J.P. Morgan and later issued $150 million in tax-exempt Series 2026 bonds at a fixed 6% interest rate.
These funds, combined with existing liquidity, will finance the next wave of projects totaling more than 1 million square feet of new hangar development.
When combined with existing and near-complete assets, Sky Harbour now has over 2.1 million rentable square feet fully funded, positioning the company for continued growth.
CEO Tal Keinan emphasized the company’s accelerating momentum and long-term vision:
“The Company is generating operating cash at an increasing rate as additional hangar campuses come online. More than 1,000,000 square feet of new hangar development is fully funded, and our construction resources are prepared to meet the upcoming surge with growing speed and cost-efficiency. The Sky Harbour HBO offering is the solution of choice for the country’s top flight departments. Our focus for 2026 is scale.”

Sky Harbour’s business model—focused on dedicated hangar campuses for private and corporate aviation—positions it uniquely within the broader aviation infrastructure sector. As demand for private aviation continues to rise, especially among corporate users, the need for specialized, high-efficiency facilities is increasing.
The company’s HBO concept aims to reduce turnaround times, improve operational efficiency, and provide tailored services—key differentiators in a competitive aviation market.
Additionally, its strategy of targeting high-traffic metropolitan airports ensures strong demand fundamentals and long-term lease stability.
Looking ahead, Sky Harbour’s combination of strong capital backing, growing occupancy, and expanding infrastructure pipeline suggests continued upward momentum through 2026 and beyond.
