Opportunities
We're building for the long term.
Av8r Capital Group is actively looking for the people, places and opportunities that can help us grow the next chapter of our aviation businesses. That may mean an aviation company looking for a successor, a larger manufacturing facility, an airport looking for an anchor tenant, a community trying to attract aviation jobs, or an airport owner thinking about what comes next.
We need room to grow.
What we look for in a place
- Airport access — strongly preferred
- Taxiway or runway access — a major plus
- Hangar space
- Manufacturing or industrial space
- Room for aircraft assembly
- Expansion potential
- Developable airport property
- Practical utility access
- Reasonable freight access
- An available workforce
- A community that wants aviation manufacturing
Today our aircraft operations are centered on Jerry Tyler Memorial Airport in Niles, Michigan. What we do there — kit production, parts, assembly, fulfillment, builder support — is the work we need room for.
A long-term home for aviation businesses.
Opportunities that interest us
- Public-use, privately owned airports
- Private airports
- Airparks
- Underutilized aviation properties
- Airports with hangar capacity
- Airports with developable land
- Aviation properties with room to expand
Own an airport? Have space to fill?
Hangars with room to build airplanes, a ramp to roll them out on, and an owner who would like to see the place busy.
Bring aviation manufacturing to your community.
Communities with
- Airport property
- Hangars
- Industrial space
- Development land
- Aviation incentives
- Workforce programs
- Expansion opportunities
This is an invitation to talk. It is not a relocation announcement and we do not promise a number of jobs; what we can promise is a straight conversation with the people who run the businesses.
- 01
Introduce the place
Airport, property or district; what exists today and what could be developed.
- 02
Tell us what you are trying to attract
Manufacturing, jobs, airport activity, a tenant for empty hangars, an aviation community.
- 03
We will tell you honestly whether it fits
Our businesses are small, hands-on and growing. A good match is one where both sides gain.
05 — Tell us about the opportunity
A place, a property, a community, a plan.
Choose the category that fits and tell us what you have. We read every message, and the people who reply are the people who would be moving in.
