After signing a contract to complete a Boeing 747-8, Basel, Switzerland-based MRO and completion and refurbishment center Amac Aerospace has also inked a deal to build an 88,000-sq-ft hangar capable of handling larger airplanes.

It will be Amac’s third hangar and, like its second, will be capable of accommodating a 747-8, an Airbus A330 and two single-aisle airliners for conversion to executive use. The expansion will increase Amac employment by an expected 150 jobs over the next 12 months, bringing the total workforce to approximately 250.
