What Sky Harbour Group Corp. told the SEC could break it.
Sky Harbour's risks reflect a capital-intensive operator of physical hangar campuses on land it doesn't own. Its assets sit in disaster-prone areas — three campuses are in California's earthquake and wildfire zones (the greater LA area was hit by the January 2025 wildfires), with others in hurricane-prone Florida and Texas — exposing it to potentially uninsurable losses. Its growth is debt-financed through bonds and term loans that expose its properties to foreclosure if it can't finance or refinance, and substantially all of its operations are conducted under ground leases that hand significant rights to airport authorities as its landlord, leaving its facilities dependent on terms it doesn't fully control.
3 self-disclosed vulnerabilities, pulled from its own filings, each in the company’s words, with the source. This is the risk register almost nobody reads.
In its own words
What could break it.
Climate & physical
- Hangar campuses in earthquake/wildfire (California) and hurricane (FL/TX) zonesmedium
Three of Sky Harbour's HBO campuses are in California's active earthquake and wildfire zones (the greater LA area suffered the January 2025 wildfires), with other properties in hurricane-prone Florida and Texas, exposing assets and operations to natural-disaster losses that may be uninsurable.
“three of our HBO campuses are located in California. The west coast of the United States contains active earthquake zones and the greater Los Angeles area has experienced major fires, including the significant damage and lasting effects of the January 2025 wildfires, and may experience major fires in the future.”

Liquidity & debt
- Mortgage/bond debt with foreclosure exposure and reliance on capital marketsmedium
Sky Harbour's growth depends on continued access to external capital, and its 2021 Bonds, Term Loan Facility, and Series 2026 Bonds expose its properties to foreclosure if it cannot finance or refinance, risking loss of its investment in encumbered properties.
“2021 Bonds, the Term Loan Facility, and the Series 2026 Bonds, expose us to the possibility of foreclosure, which could result in the loss of our investment in a property or group of properties subject to mortgage debt.”

Other disclosures
- Operations conducted under airport-authority ground leasesmedium
Substantially all of Sky Harbour's operations are conducted under ground leases that grant significant rights to airport authorities as its direct or ultimate landlord, leaving its facilities dependent on lease terms it does not fully control.
“We conduct substantially all of our operations under ground leases, which grant significant rights to airport authorities as our direct or ultimate landlord.”
