Sky Harbour Soars: 82% Revenue Jump and New Denver Campus Opening!

In a vibrant landscape where aerospace innovation and market dynamics intertwine, companies are making significant strides. Among these, Sky Harbour Group Corporation and Joby Aviation are carving out their paths, demonstrating growth and ambition as they navigate the skies of opportunity.

Sky Harbour Group Corporation (NYSE: SKYH, SKYH WS) recently published its unaudited financial results for the second quarter of 2025. The company delivered a robust performance, with consolidated revenues skyrocketing by 82% compared to the same period last year, and increasing by 18% sequentially from the previous quarter. This uptick is noteworthy amid a backdrop of rapidly changing market conditions. Notably, their assets and ongoing construction projects now surpass $295 million—an impressive jump of $125 million year-over-year and $18 million since Q1 2025. These developments signal a healthy trajectory for Sky Harbour, as they’re aiming for cash-flow breakeven by year-end 2025, backed by revenues from their campuses in metropolitan hubs including Phoenix, Dallas, Denver, and Seattle.

Expansion and New Developments

As of June 30, 2025, Sky Harbour had nearly $75 million in cash and US Treasuries, reflecting a stable financial foundation. The company is not resting on its laurels; it has six hangar leases executed at new campuses in places like Denver and Dallas, with more negotiations underway. With ambitious plans, they expect to announce five additional airport ground leases by the close of this year, raising their total to 23 airports. The inaugural operations have also kicked off in Dallas and are set to commence soon in Denver as well.

Joby Aviation, Inc. (NYSE: JOBY) isn’t lagging behind. Their recent shareholder letter unveils an array of achievements for Q2 2025. The company is moving towards the final assembly of its first conforming aircraft, paving the way for Type Inspection Authorization flight testing. With pilot flights anticipated later this year, Joby is making headway against FAA certification requirements—at 70% completeness on their part and over 50% on the FAA’s side. This blend of operational grit and visionary goals has helped Joby secure a strong balance sheet, closing the quarter with $991 million in cash and short-term investments.

Strategic Collaborations and Market Positioning

Diving deeper into their strategy, Joby is expanding its horizons by entering into an agreement to acquire Blade Air Mobility, Inc.’s passenger business, a move designed to enhance market access in bustling locations like New York City and Southern Europe. Meanwhile, their collaboration with L3Harris aims to develop a gas turbine hybrid variant of their aircraft for defense applications, a venture set to take flight this fall.

The aerospace sector is undoubtedly bustling with opportunity. According to an industry report, the global space economy reached an impressive $570 billion in 2023, showcasing a 7.4% year-over-year increase. Defense priorities are shaping strategic spending, with technology sectors like rocket technology and unmanned systems receiving significant attention. In fact, U.S. defense budgets are pivoting heavily towards innovations in unmanned aerial systems, further amplifying the competitive landscape for companies like Sky Harbour and Joby.

As the worlds of aviation and defense continue to evolve, it’s clear that both companies are steering toward a future rich with promise. With multiple initiatives underway, their growth narratives are not merely wishful thinking; they represent a tangible shift in how aerospace capabilities are being defined and executed.
