King Aerospace Commercial Corporation (KACC) has signed a lease agreement for two hangars at the Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport (XNA) near Rogers. The secure-environment hangar spaces will be used to support highly specialized, FAA Part 145 modifications, engineering and integration services for mission-critical government or quasi-government wide-body aircraft. These include everything from upgraded airborne defense systems to next-generation information systems. The facility, which will be called KACC ARK, will also provide maintenance, installation, programme management and VIP interior refurbishment to accompany these specialized modifications.
In preparation of King Aerospace's occupancy, the hangars have undergone significant upgrades. These include shop facilities, spray booth, exhaust systems, LED lighting and state-of-the-art fire suppression. In-house technicians and artisans will ensure interiors executed to perfection and impeccable special-equipment modifications to support needs unique to highly specialized government or quasi-government modifications. The hangars can hold multiple, wide-body aircraft, such as Boeing 747, 767 and 777 aircraft.
