A business with services in Springfield has announced a massive commitment in cooperation with the Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport.
StandardAero announced on Monday its commitment to invest between $10-12 million in leasehold improvements at the company’s Springfield, Illinois business aviation MRO facility.
The investments and upgrades will be applied to significant building improvements and modernization, including hangar door overhaul, interior door replacement, resurfacing of hangar floors, exterior paint, interior paint, HVAC replacements, flat roof replacements, paint facility equipment upgrades, parking area and road resurfacing to name a few.
The investments, in partnership with Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport, are set to be completed in three phases over a two-and-a-half-year period.
Dave Pearman, Vice President & General Manager of StandardAero Springfield, stated:
“We have already started the repair and overhaul process for our hangar doors and we’re proceeding with the other phased improvements. We are grateful to the Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport for their support and once all of the upgrades are completed, we’ll essentially have a ‘like new’ operation.”
In addition to Springfield, StandardAero operates out of primary business aviation MRO facilities in Van Nuys, California; Dallas and Houston, Texas; Augusta, Georgia; and the U.K. The company also has regional service centers located in the U.S., Brazil, the U.K., South Africa, and Singapore, in addition to Mobile Service Teams around the world to support wherever operators fly.
StandardAero Springfield primarily supports airframe maintenance for business aviation aircraft, including scheduled maintenance, avionics installations, full interior refurbishments, and full aircraft paint.
“The modernization of our facility represents our commitment to our customers to deliver excellent customer service and the best quality aircraft service in the industry,” Pearman concluded.
