Flight School Faces Demolition Threat | Newark News

A beloved flight school in Sussex County, Andover Flight Academy, is on the brink of closure as NJDEP threatens to demolish its hangars—claiming they need major upgrades, but lawmakers argue renovation is cheaper. With no spare hangar space in New Jersey and vintage aircraft at risk from the elements, the school’s future hangs in the balance. Students and instructors describe it as more than a training ground—it’s a tight-knit community. Congressman Josh Gottheimer has joined the fight, calling the school vital to the region. A formal eviction notice is expected later this year, giving tenants three months to vacate—but for now, the clock is ticking and the fate of this aviation hub remains uncertain.
