GA Telesis and Air Transport Services Group (ATSG), a leading provider of aircraft leasing and air cargo transportation and related services, have reached an agreement with the Clinton County Port Authority (CCPA), JobsOhio and the Ohio Department of Development to locate their 72,000 ft² Specialised Procedures Aeroengine Hospital (SPAH) at the Wilmington Air Park in southwestern Ohio. The new SPAH is projected to be operational by September 2022 and will be capable of inducting more than two hundred engines per year, focused on those manufactured by General Electric and CFM International.
“We are thrilled to be taking the next step in adding a U.S.-based SPAH to our capabilities,” said Russell Shelton, President of the Engine Strategy Group at GA Telesis. “We could not have accomplished this significant milestone without the strategic ATSG partnership and the cooperation of the Clinton County Port Authority and Wilmington Air Park,” he added.
This investment marks the first United States location for a GA Telesis SPAH and will provide a variety of engine services to global aviation customers from the Wilmington Air Park location. Additionally, GA Telesis opened its first SPAH in Helsinki, Finland in 2021. This second location will provide economic opportunities to the region through both administration and skilled technician roles.
