Rockstar Games keeps improving businesses in GTA Online, and with the 2025 Moneyfront DLC, the Hangar business has been massively buffed. It’s now considered an S-tier money-making operation, especially for solo players. If you're looking for a way to make millions on your own, here's a complete and easy-to-follow guide on how to buy, run, and profit from your Hangar in 2025.

Why You Should Buy a Hangar in GTA Online
Owning a Hangar is essential in GTA Online for two major reasons:

1. Aircraft Storage – Without a Hangar, you can’t own or store planes and helicopters like the Akula, Savage, or Lazer. For vehicle collectors and mission grinders alike, a Hangar is a must.

2. Smuggler’s Run Business – The Hangar also unlocks the Smuggler’s Run cargo system, letting you source and sell illicit goods for big profits. Rockstar's recent updates have made this business solo-friendly and far more profitable than before.

Best Location to Buy a Hangar
You can purchase a Hangar by visiting Maze Bank Foreclosures through your in-game phone or computer. There are two main Hangar locations:

- LSIA (Los Santos International Airport): These are the cheapest options, but they are far from ideal due to poor mission access and location.

- Fort Zancudo (Military Base): This is the best choice. Buying a Hangar here gives you free access to Fort Zancudo without gaining a wanted level, making it easier to steal military vehicles and access missions. It’s also centrally located, which cuts down travel time during sourcing runs.

Pro tip: Buy the cheapest Hangar at Fort Zancudo to get the best balance between price and strategic advantage.

Important Upgrades for Your Hangar
While most upgrades are cosmetic, two are worth every dollar:

- Sleeping Quarters: This lets you spawn directly at your Hangar, which saves a ton of time.

- Aircraft Workshop: Costs just over $1 million, but lets you customize and upgrade your aircraft with weapons, armor, and paint jobs—essential for advanced players.

Making Money with the Hangar Business
The process is simple: source cargo, store it, then sell it for profit. But knowing how to source and sell efficiently makes all the difference.

Sourcing Cargo Crates
There are three methods to source cargo:

1. Rooster (Passive Sourcing) – Pay Rooster $25,000 to get 1–2 crates every 48 minutes. It’s passive but slow and unreliable, so skip this unless you’re AFK.

2. Land Source Missions – Added in 2023, these are fast and great for solo players. Each mission takes around 3–7 minutes and yields 1 crate solo (more if done with friends). Want to skip straight to land sourcing missions? Cheap modded GTA 5 accounts make it easy.

3. Air Source Missions – These take 2–3 times longer than land missions and are not efficient for solo players. Avoid unless you're in a crew.

Land mission tips:

- Some missions involve trailers or submarines. You can blow them up to drop the cargo and save time. 

- Most are simple pickup or steal-and-run tasks.

Understanding Cargo Types and Bonuses
Each crate normally sells for $30,000, but selling multiple crates of the same type unlocks bonus payouts:

- Counterfeit Goods, Tobacco – Up to 50% bonus at 50 crates.

- Jewelry, Art, Animal Goods – Up to 60% bonus at 50 crates.

- Medical Supplies, Chemicals, Narcotics – Up to 70% bonus at 50 crates.

If you own the Higgins Heli Tours business (about $900,000), you’ll get an extra 10% bonus on all sales.

Selling Cargo Efficiently
You can sell via land or air:

- Air Sales – These usually spawn 3 separate vehicles. Tough to complete solo unless you're in an invite-only or low-pop public session.

- Land Sales – Always spawn just one vehicle, even when selling over $2.5 million in cargo. This makes solo sales extremely easy and safe.

Cooldowns and Hourly Profits
After sourcing a specific cargo type, there’s a short cooldown—1 minute in public sessions, 2 minutes solo. To stay efficient, rotate between different cargo types. Here’s what you can expect to make:

- Air Missions Solo – Around $180,000 per hour.

- Land Missions Solo – Doubles to around $360,000 per hour.

- Maxed Bonuses with Cargo Rotation – Up to $500,000 per hour solo.

- Selling in Public Sessions with Full Bonuses – Can go over $700,000 per hour if done right.

Why the Hangar Is S-Tier in 2025
Thanks to ongoing improvements, the Hangar now stands as one of the most profitable and efficient solo businesses in GTA Online. Here’s why:

- Lets you store and customize powerful aircraft.

- Offers quick and solo-friendly land sourcing missions.

- Supports huge bonus stacking for cargo profits.

- Provides easy solo sale options with minimal risk.

Final Tips for Maximum Profit
- Buy the cheapest Fort Zancudo Hangar.

- Upgrade with Sleeping Quarters and Workshop.

- Focus on land source missions for faster crate collection.

- Group cargo by type to stack bonuses.

- Always choose land sales to make millions solo with ease.

If you're looking for a business that delivers consistent income, fun gameplay, and strong utility, the Hangar is the top-tier pick in 2025. With the right setup, you’ll be swimming in GTA money faster than ever before.
