Hydroswing to provide doors for hangars at KSDM

By General Aviation News Staff · May 1, 2015 ·

CARLSBAD, Calif. — Hydroswing North America has been selected as the sole source of hangar doors at KSDM.

In 2013, the San Diego City Council approved a redevelopment of Brown Field Municipal Airport in Otay Mesa, involving more than $1 billion in planned improvements over the next 20 years.

Metropolitan Airpark, a four-phase commercial development, will cover 331 acres of the city-owned, 880-acre facility near the U.S.-Mexico border. This development is poised to become a major commercial hub for strategic business partnerships between the U.S. and Mexico, according to company officials.
