ST Engineering has broke ground for its third aircraft maintenance hangar at the Pensacola International Airport in Florida, further expanding its presence in the US, on June 4, 2024. The new 167,000 sq ft hangar will be equipped with two bays with the capability to service widebody aircraft. It is expected to be fully operational in the second half of 2026 whereupon it will contribute an approximate 500,000 manhours annually.
The new hangar is part of ST Engineering’s planned airframe maintenance, repair & overhaul (MRO) complex in Pensacola which will comprise four hangar facilities and is projected to generate over 1,700 jobs when fully completed. It is co-funded by ST Engineering and other state and federal organisations.
""We continue to look to the future with the construction of our third hangar in Pensacola that will expand our airframe MRO capacity, allowing us to better meet our customers’ growing maintenance needs, drive business growth and strengthen our presence in the region,"" said ST Engineering president commercial aerospace Jeffrey Lam.
ST Engineering currently operates airframe MRO facilities in Mobile, Alabama and San Antonio, Texas. It also operates a nacelle manufacturing and MRO facility in Middle River, Maryland, and offers aircraft engine washes through EcoServices in Wethersfield, Connecticut.
