SLN Aviation Service Center's Hangar 600 Ready for Lease in November 2008
The 69,000 square foot hangar and office complex in
the heart of the SLN Aviation Service Center and
Airport Industrial Center will be ready for occupancy
on November 1, 2008.
The hangar's corporate neighbors are Hawker
Beechcraft Corp. and CAV Aerospace. Hawker
Beechcraft Corp. (and its predecessors Beech Aircraft
and Raytheon Aircraft) has had a presence in Salina
since 1966. CAV Aerospace recently moved to a
larger facility in the SLN Aviation Service Center where
the company builds and installs the TKS Ice
Protection System.
"The Salina Airport Authority's support has been
essential to the rapid growth of the TKS ice protection
product line in the United States," said Kevin Hawley,
president of CAV Aerospace, Inc.
The multi-million dollar hangar complex will easily
accommodate aircraft with a wingspan of 100 feet
and a tail height of 28 feet. Please follow this link for a
PDF of the specsheet.
