New paint facility opens at KFXE

By General Aviation News Staff · September 3, 2020 ·

Atlantic Jet Refinishing has opened its new paint facility at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (KFXE) in Florida.

The 16,500-square-foot paint hangar is the first in its class to be built in South Florida, offering a dual-bay layout and featuring upgraded systems to meet the latest environmental and fire suppression requirements, according to officials with Sheltair, which developed and is leasing the new facility.

Atlantic Jet’s paint facility on the eastside of KFXE opened simultaneously with Sheltair’s new 20-acre Northside Hangar Complex at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport. The complex includes eight state-of-the-art hangars of up to 22,500 square feet and a new FBO terminal operated by Banyan Air Services that will be opening this month.

In business for more than 27 years, with combined staff experience of 87 years in the industry, Atlantic Jet Refinishing specializes in aircraft paint and interior refurbishment.
