Airplane Only Hotels Get Their Start with New Series of Calgary Airport Hotels

Airport hotels are a must-have for travelers all over the world. It takes just one weather related problem to ground hundreds of flights and send travelers scrambling to find hotels to stay at for the night. Now, a new series of Calgary airport hotels will offer overnight services to the most unique guests – airplanes.

“Planes need a lot of service”, said Graham Thomas, owner and developer of this new series of Calgary airport hotels. “I wanted to create a series of hotels that would allow planes to get the proper servicing they needed. That is just what I did.”

These extra-large, unique hotels are designed to provide housing and lodging to small, private planes. The hotel will provide a number of services that are commonly sought after by plane owners.

“We will offer detailing services, turnovers, and service related maintenance”, said Thomas. “These are common services that are requested by plane owners. I think they will enjoy leaving their planes in safe hands.”

Plane owners will check in their planes, where the plane will be guided to the hanger. The owners will be able to request a number of services that will help the plane run smoother.

“We are also thinking of expanding our services to the plane owners”, said Thomas. “We want to have small, lodging rooms for the owners. This would allow them to stay near their planes, but allow them to decompress, cool down, and wait for the weather to pass.”

This series of Calgary airport hotels may seem a bit odd, but they seem to be going over with plane owners. The current series of hotels offers 15 hangers for private jets. Every evening, all 15 hangers are filled with airplanes. Some of the planes stay for a day, while others stay for a week.

“I just wanted something different from the traditional airport hotel”, said Vince Trello, a private jet owner. “I saw this new series of hotels and knew I just had to try it out. It was well worth every penny that I paid.”

Graham Thomas is planning on building a few expansions to the series of hotels. The latest expansion is one that will be able to hold jumbo jets and larger planes. This would allow planes of all sizes to stay at this unique hotel, as opposed to just private jets. The expansion has not begun, as Thomas needs to find space to build it.
