West Star Aviation highlighted the new Paint and Maintenance Hangars at the Chattanooga facility Open House, November 7, 2018.
With the completion of these new facilities, West Star now occupies over 175,000 ft² of space at the Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport. “The open house was a great way to showcase our new facilities, and to demonstrate to our customers in this area of the country that we are continuing with our heritage of quality, world-class service,” said Jim Rankin, CEO, West Star Aviation.
The recently completed expansion includes a new 65,000 ft² maintenance facility that includes 40,000 ft² of hangar space, and over 25,000 ft² of office and support space. This completion also includes a 45,000 ft² state-of-the-art paint facility that can accommodate the paint needs of most business aircraft flying today, including Gulfstream G550, Embraer Lineage, and Embraer Legacy 600.
West Star Aviation has already started its first customer paint & maintenance project at their newly expanded Chattanooga (CHA) facility. The first customer project to be completed will include a 3C Inspection, Service Bulletins, an avionics installation and a full paint job on a Falcon 2000. This project is anticipated for completion before Q1 of 2019.
