Flamingo Air Acquires 17 Hangars At Cincinnati Muni

Mainstay At Lunken Field Expands Education And Services

Flamingo Air announced it has acquired 17 hangars from Air Tolin Inc. at Cincinnati Municipal Airport-Lunken Field (KLUK) in Ohio. The purchase greatly expands Flamingo’s footprint at the airport it’s been based at since 1992 and includes a 92,000 square foot facility with tens of thousands of aircraft parts, a wide range of tools as well as testing and metalworking equipment.

The move represents a significant landmark in Flamingo Air’s growth and enhances the company’s comprehensive aviation services. In addition to flight and various other training courses, Flamingo will offer aircraft maintenance, repairs, painting, restoration, and major inspections beginning in 2025.

Sharon McGee, owner of Flamingo Air said, "This acquisition cements our position as a leader in aviation services. We can now service a wider range of general aircraft alongside our fleet, meeting the growing demands of the aviation industry in Cincinnati and beyond. This will make us the dominant general aviation repair operation on the field."

Flamingo will dedicate one 12,000 square foot hangar to training aviation and maintenance students. The remaining 16 hangars will be made available to rent short-term or for aircraft basing.

The company operates the Flamingo Air Academy Flight School, Airline Ground Schools, Flamingo Airtronics, and Worker Bee Drone Training.

The facility has been renamed GCA Maintenance and Repair in honor of the Greater Cincinnati Airmen and bolsters Flamingo Air’s commitment to providing comprehensive and dedicated services and education as it continues to revitalize the historic airport where American Airlines began.
