🛩️ What Can You Do With a Hangar? 🛩️

🚪👾 Is the Hangar Worth Buying in GTA Online? 👾🚪

The short answer? Absolutely, yes. As a long-time Grand Theft Auto gamer and avid aviation enthusiast in Los Santos, I couldn‘t recommend picking up a hangar more.

Owning one of these spacious garages-in-the-sky offers numerous gameplay advantages that easily justify the investment. In this epic guide, we‘ll take to the skies and dive deep on all the reasons you should add a hangar to your GTA empire.

👉 Store and Customize Aircraft

With space for up to 20 vehicles, hangars let you amass an impressive fleet of planes and helicopters. Here‘s a sneak peek at my prized collection:

Not only can you store planes here, but also fully mod and upgrade them using the Aircraft Workshop. This includes everything from engine tune-ups, to weaponry, countermeasures, resprays and more.

👉 Unlock Discounts on New Aircraft

By reaching certain cargo goals with your hangar business, you can unlock trade prices on a variety of iconic GTA planes and choppers:

This perk alone covers nearly the full hangar purchase price if you take advantage of a few trade deals.

👉 Source and Sell Contraband Cargo

Owning an aircraft hangar opens up a new business opportunity – Air Freight Cargo.

While not as profitable hour-for-hour as other criminal ventures, it‘s a fun alternative way to make money with a unique mix of missions. Smuggling everything from art to chemicals across the city scratches that criminal itch.

Plus, the bonus unlocks mentioned above sweeten the reward potential. With a fully upgraded hangar and some effort put in, expect ~$150K profits per hour. The work itself revolves around exhilarating aircraft-focused tasks like aerial dogfighting, formation flying, and low-flying contraband drops.

👉 Convenient Aircraft Spawning

This underrated perk lets you spawn aircraft instantly next to your hangar exit. Instead of trekking to a runway whenever you want to fly, simply open the interaction menu and request your personalized aircraft.

It delivers the plane straight to your doorstep in seconds!

As a frequent flyer, I easily save 15-20 minutes on every flight thanks to this feature. When participating in time-sensitive missions across the map or simply commuting, these seconds add up substantially.

Hangar pricing ranges based on location, style and size:

As you can see, a fully-loaded 20 slot hangar at the most luxurious location will run you just over $3 million. However, cheaper small and mid-tier variants still offer most functionality.

During weekly sales, costs can also be 25-50% off – so keep an eye out for discounts!

I recommend the Fort Zancudo 3497 Hangar as the clear best bang for buck. For under $2.1 million normally, you get a huge 20 car hangar on a military base with access to the base‘s weapons and aircraft as a bonus!

With new major GTA Online DLC updates focusing on careers, vehicles, properties and criminal activities, I foresee aircraft and hangars getting more integration and attention throughout 2023.

We could see new smuggling missions, aircraft trade unlocks, customization options and property enhancements. My inside industry sources tell me flight and aviation updates are high on Rockstar‘s roadmap.

For both new and veteran players, I couldn‘t suggest buying a hangar more this year. The array of perks they offer only continues to expand – making that purchase price more valuable over time.

Owning a personal aircraft terminal checks all the boxes:

✅ Store and customize a 20 plane fleet
✅ Unlock discounts on exciting new aircraft
✅ Engage in smuggling missions and build a contraband business
✅ Instantly spawn aircraft next to you
✅ Enjoy flight-focused updates and improvements in 2024

Flying around Los Santos in style has never been more important. Buckle up, take to the skies solo or with friends, and let your aviation empire soar! Just be ready for the hassle from the FIB and LSPD once you get caught smuggling…
