AMAC Aerospace inaugurated the main hangar of its new business aviation completions and maintenance operation at Switzerland’s EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg on February 6. The company is now building a second hangar as part of a ramp-up process that could see it more than double total employment from the current figure of 140 to 300 people.

In addition to the first 45,000-sq-ft hangar, the complex, which was completed on schedule in just over five months, includes 19,375 sq ft of workshops and offices, and has an adjoining 215,000-sq-ft ramp. This covered space is already occupied by an Airbus A320 undergoing executive completion for a Middle Eastern client, as well as a Boeing 737 and Gulfstream V in for maintenance. According to AMAC chief executive Heinz Köhli, two more green bizliner-class aircraft are scheduled to be completed for Middle Eastern customers.
