SUMMARY:
Skywarrior Flight Training has been providing flight training services to the General Aviation community from Pensacola Aviation Center since 2009. In 2015, Skywarrior expanded its operation by purchasing a facility at 4211 Maygarden Road from Lifeguard Air Ambulance, Inc. Skywarrior now wishes to further expand its facility, but is in need of temporary space until construction of a new facility is complete.
Airport staff met with Skywarrior staff to discuss short-term leasing of space formerly occupied by DynCorp International. The space is currently vacant and is available only until construction begins on the planned concourse expansion into that area.
This lease agreement will provide Skywarrior space to set up temporary training facilities for up to eighteen (18) months while it constructs additional facilities at the General Aviation Corporate ramp. Skywarrior will be required to pay the current ground rental rate similar to other airside tenants and will provide any and all maintenance and improvements to the facility during the term.
