Jet Aviation inaugurated a new hangar at its Basel completion facility on May 16, just days before the opening of EBACE. Capable of simultaneously accommodating an A380 and a B747, the facility covers more than 100,000 square feet. Another 100,000 square feet of office and shop space is to be added in the near future. The event was attended by 500 customers, suppliers, members of local authorities and the press.

The new hangar will be exclusively used for completion of large aircraft. It is a stand-alone structure built on the west side of Basel’s 16/34 main runway, while Jet Aviation’s existing six hangars are all on the east side. Approximately half of Jet Aviation’s Basel facility is devoted to completions, with the other half active in maintenance.
