Hawker Beechcraft expands facility at IWA

By Janice Wood · April 25, 2010 ·

Hawker Beechcraft Services (HBS) recently celebrated the grand opening of its expanded and enhanced aircraft maintenance facility at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport (IWA) in Mesa, Ariz. HBS recently completed the final phase of a $14 million project that added a second 26,000-square-foot hangar and expanded customer accommodations and administrative offices to the Mesa site, which was selected to serve as the company’s regional service center in the Southwest. The operation is expected to generate up to 110 new jobs over five years.

The new space supplements existing facilities opened by HBS in January 2009 to provide owners and operators in the Southwest with a full-service Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (MRO) location offering airframe, avionics, engine and Aircraft on Ground (AOG) support for the company’s entire aircraft line.
