Indeed LLAL was not interested in offering enough land to Gulfstream, as it would have had an impact on potential airport passenger capacity. Now Signature just use the ex Gulfstream hangar for storage except a couple of days ago it looked completely empty joining all the other empty hangars.
The hangar line is inside the Enterprise Zone for potential redevelopment so I wouldn’t be surprised if all the hangars eventually get knocked down with the exception of TUI. Enough space there for Gulfstream to build on the Monarch hangar sites but Gulfsteam wanted exclusive use of an apron or at least enough stands fronting any new hangar to avoid aircraft getting trapped. LLAL were not interested and said no.
Screenshot showing that all the hangar line are in Enterprise zone 2B as land available for redevelopment. In fact every airport hangar except EasyJet’s hangar has been included inside one zone or another as potential development sites. More hotels?
