BATTLE CREEK, Michigan — The DIMOR Group has closed WACO Classic Aircraft and Centennial Aircraft Services, which provided aircraft maintenance at Battle Creek Executive Airport at Kellogg Field (KBTL). The company’s Centennial FBO remains open, as well as San Francisco Latin American Cuisine.
Officials with the German company said “rising production costs, coupled with ongoing limitations in market demand, rendered continued U.S. production unsustainable.”
About 60 people lost the jobs with the closing of WACO Classic Aircraft.
Production of the JUNKERS A50 Junior, A50 Heritage, and A60 aircraft will continue through the DIMOR Group’s sister entity in Oberndorf, Germany, where these aircraft will be manufactured and marketed worldwide.
DIMOR Group acquired WACO Aircraft and Centennial Aircraft Services in 2018.
