ST Engineering’s Aerospace sector officially opened a new airframe Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul (MRO) facility on June 8, in Pensacola, Florida, USA.
The new facility, which can carry out heavy and line maintenance, as well as aircraft modification work, joins two others that ST Engineering has in the USA, located in San Antonio, Texas and Mobile, Alabama, increasing its capacity to serve the North America region and its global clientele.
Located at the Pensacola International Airport, the new hangar has been developed at a cost of US$46 million. At 173,500 ft ², it is one of the largest hangars in ST Engineering’s global network of airframe maintenance facilities. The facility has an annual capacity of 600,000 labour hours, and can accommodate at any one time two aircraft of the largest version of the 777 widebody series, or six A321 narrowbody aircraft.
