Midcoast Aviation last month announced its intention to move into the “narrow-body” cabin completion business, marked by groundbreaking on a new 146,000-sq-ft hangar at its St. Louis Downtown Airport facility near St. Louis.

According to Midcoast president Kurt Sutterer, the growth was prompted by demand for executive aircraft the size of the Airbus A318 and A319 and the Boeing Business Jet. The market for narrowbody bizliners has grown 15 percent annually over the past four years, he said, adding, “The popularity of this type of aircraft as a business tool will result in 18 to 20 green aircraft entering the market every year.”
