Hangar
Strong with a coordinated crew or bonus week, demanding without either.
Setup, step by step
- 1Buy a hangar at LSIA if you want short city runs, or Fort Zancudo if you fly a lot of military aircraft.
- 2Register as CEO or VIP and start air freight cargo from the hangar laptop.
- 3Source crates in threes once you can handle the harder missions — the per-crate value is the same but the trips are fewer.
- 4Watch the sell mission types; some require several aircraft and are painful solo.
- 5Sell in an Invite Only session and keep the load under the multi-vehicle threshold if you are alone.

Worth knowing

- •The hangar's real value is aircraft storage and modification.
