Tal Keinan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented on the Q3 results and other recent events:

“This is an exciting moment in our Company’s history.

Our offering, which marries very deliberately designed facilities with a highly tailored service suite, represents the best home basing solution in business aviation. We are proud that we can already count the top flight departments in the country as Sky Harbour members.

Vertical integration, from prototyping, through metal building manufacture, to airfield operations, affords us maximal control of both quality and cost.

The challenge ahead of us includes constant refinement of the Sky Harbour model, and aggressive scaling across North America. Our veteran-led site acquisition team, together with a powerful group of equity partners, are now pursuing that mission at full throttle.”
