Macquarie Infrastructure Company's Atlantic Aviation Business Commits to Development of Hangar at LAX

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Macquarie Infrastructure Company MIC announced that its Atlantic Aviation business has reached agreement with Los Angeles World Airports for the development of a 36,500 square foot general aviation hangar at Los Angeles International Airport. Atlantic Aviation owns terminals and hangars, known as fixed base operations, at 63 airports throughout the U.S.

Work to build the $7.8 million development has commenced. When complete, the new facility will feature secure parking for four large-cabin general aviation jet aircraft plus approximately 5,300 square feet of office space.

“The expansion of Atlantic Aviation's LAX facility is another investment in the future of the business,” said James Hooke, Chief Executive Officer of MIC, “One that we believe will produce attractive returns and enable Atlantic Aviation to better serve its Los Angeles bound customers. We already have strong demand for the full space given the extreme shortage of General Aviation hangar capacity at LAX.”

“Together with acquisitions of fixed base operations expected to close in the next few weeks, the hangar development at LAX and projects currently underway across our portfolio of infrastructure businesses, MIC has committed to invest more than $300 million in growth projects in 2014,” Hooke added.

Exclusive of the previously announced acquisitions, MIC's businesses have now committed to growth projects in 2014 with a combined value greater than the total of all growth investments made in 2013.

In addition to the hangar development, Atlantic Aviation is expected to close on the acquisition of a portfolio of six fixed base operations around the end of the first quarter. MIC's bulk liquid terminalling business, IMTT, and its gas production and distribution business, Hawaii Gas, also have growth projects underway.
