HAECO Americas construction of new hangar at PTI airport is underway

HAECO Americas announced that the construction of its fifth hangar is underway at the Piedmont Triad International (PTI) Airport. The investment to build the nearly 250,000 ft², structure will total US$60m and will add up to 500 new jobs at full capacity. The expansion boosts HAECO Americas’ current position as one of the largest independent Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) organizations in the United States. Hangar completion is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2017 and will be ready for its first customer aircraft in January 2018. More than 176,000 ft² of the new building will be hangar space, the largest within HAECO Americas’ facilities and almost twice the size of each of the other four hangars that HAECO currently operates at PTI Airport. The new hangar will be capable of holding eight narrowbody aircraft, or two widebody and two narrowbody aircraft simultaneously.
