Expansion Opens Door to Large Narrow-Body Aircraft
AMARILLO, TX. Things are taking off in Texas – at least for the painting pros at Leading Edge. The company debuted a new hangar this month that will significantly increase its capacity to paint larger narrow-body aircraft. “In this industry, we’re always looking for ways to maximize our capacity,” said Dave Patterson, Executive Vice President, Leading Edge Aviation. “To do that, we’ve taken a great hangar in Amarillo and added a brand new tail enclosure. With that increased flexibility, we can now paint a much wider range of aircraft, including the larger narrow-body aircraft that are being favored by major fleets today.”
Officially opened on September 15th, the new hangar already has a number of paint lines scheduled thanks to contracts with clients such as Continental who served as the inaugural client with a B737-800.
