The vendor believes that the site could easily accommodate an increased amount of work. The site is well laid out and benefits from hard standing around the hangar for customer parking as well as substantial space for light aircraft with easy access from the runway. The business has scope to handle larger customer numbers and there are definite signs of the light aircraft market continuing to grow. There is a large ‘untapped’ market of local flying schools and an aggressive approach to marketing would surely reap great rewards. |
