The Jacksonville Aviation Authority today welcomed its newest tenant to Cecil Airport, KCI Aviation, during a groundbreaking ceremony on a new hangar and office facility.
KCI Aviation, a West Virginia-based maintenance and repair organization specializing in corporate aircraft, is expanding its business in the Southeast with the expansion at Cecil Airport.
“Expanding at Cecil Airport provides us the room to grow our business in the southeastern market,” said Chuck Koukoulis, KCI Aviation President. “In Jacksonville, we will have the ideal aircraft maintenance facility coupled with a highly trained, talented and experienced workforce. It’s the best place to grow our business.”
KCI Aviation currently has aircraft maintenance facilities in West Virginia and Oklahoma.
