Katowice Airport opens Poland's largest General Aviation hangar, enhancing business jet services as part of its growing aviation infrastructure strategy. A hangar for General Aviation aircraft was put into service at Katowice Airport. The modern building is located in the south-western part of the airport, by aircraft apron no. 4. The hangar covers 5 452 sq m, is 41 metres deep, 11 metres high and 133 metres wide. When it comes to width, the building is the biggest hangar object currently available at the Airport.

PROMUS sp. z o.o. was the main contractor responsible for the investment. The commissioning of the facility was combined with a presentation of a Gulfstream Aerospace aircraft; the company is one of the largest manufacturers of business jets in the world. The Upper Silesian Aviation Group (Górnośląskie Towarzystwo Lotnicze S.A. – GTL S.A.), i.e. the company managing Katowice Airport, offers complex services for business clients and business jets. In the airport's passenger terminals, there are two Fast Tracks which make the security control process easier, as well as two Business Lounges. The Business Customer Department at GTL S.A. provides, among others, assistance during check-in and private transportation between terminals and aircraft. Moreover, GTL S.A. holds a certificate and approval allowing to perform ground handling of General Aviation aircraft. 'I'm glad that our clients have appreciated the quality of service at Katowice Airport and decided to strengthen their relationship with the airport by successfully carrying out construction of a hangar for their business aircraft here. Our expansion program for Katowice Airport sees its south-western part dedicated for General Aviation infrastructure,' said Artur Tomasik, President of the Board of the Upper Silesian Aviation Group, the company managing Katowice Airport. Katowice Airport is among the biggest regional airports in Poland. 6.39m. passengers travelled via its network of flights in 2024. The forecast for 2025 estimates that approx. 7m. passengers will be handled; it will be the best result in the history of the Airport.

Hartzell Engine Tech Acquires E-MAG, Makers of Electronic Ignitions
'The self-powering, plug-and-play characteristic of the E-MAG design will soon be available for straightforward dual installations in the certified market.'— Hartzell Engine Tech President Keith Bagley MONTGOMERY, AL, UNITED STATES, May 12, 2025 / / -- Hartzell Engine Tech, a Signia Aerospace Company and a trusted manufacturer of components for General Aviation and military markets, has purchased E-MAG, a manufacturer of electronic ignition systems for aircraft. E-MAG manufactures lightweight electronic ignition systems that offer improved reliability, longer engine life spans, improved starting, smoother idle and partial throttle operations. Lycoming, Continental Titan and Superior Air Parts also offer E-MAG factory options. Hartzell Engine Tech plans to move E-MAG products toward certification for the General Aviation market. That will create a certified electronic ignition system able to serve as a drop-in replacement that does not require external, backup power or power conditioners for continued operation. 'While our traditional mechanical magnetos will be around for a long time, Hartzell Engine Tech acquired E-MAG to expand its PowerUP Ignition System product portfolio into both the non-certified and certified markets,' said Hartzell Engine Tech President Keith Bagley. 'The self-powering, plug-and-play characteristic of the E-MAG design will soon be available for straightforward dual installations in the certified market as PMA products compatible with conventional aviation harnesses and spark plugs,' he added. Brad Dement and Tom Carlson, founders and co-owners of E-MAG, will be assisting Hartzell Engine Tech during a transition period. Eventually E-MAG manufacturing and support activities will be relocated from Azle, Texas to Hartzell Engine Tech's main facility in Montgomery, Ala. 'We are excited that E-MAG is joining Hartzell Engine Tech and the Signia family of companies,' said Dement. Carlson added, 'The additional capabilities and resources of Hartzell Engine Tech will accelerate the E-MAG certification process.'
