MediumMedium significance — notable action worth trackingIf the Sky Harbour Group Corporation leases at Dallas Love Field and Dallas Executive Airport are upheld, they would establish a 40-year ground lease precedent for private aviation campus development on city-owned airport land through SPV structures, with capital investment obligations of $17.5M and $35M respectively as the apparent threshold terms.
