West Star Aviation acquires facility to house newly dedicated landing gear

West Star Aviation have acquired an existing 20,000 ft² facility in Grand Junction, CO to house a newly dedicated landing gear facility. West Star’s recent approval of a new landing gear overhaul agreement, and their proven success within landing gear overhaul, will allow for continued specialized support of Challenger, Hawker, and Embraer Phenom and Legacy landing gear overhaul and repair, along with a necessary first quarter operational date. The former U.S. Tech facility has already begun a full redesign by West Star and will be built out specifically for landing gear overhaul purposes. The facility was located through a Grand Junction community leader, P.J. McGovern, who worked closely with West Star to allow for a prompt renovation and anticipated operational date.
