AMAC Aerospace is stepping up its expansion plans and expects to open its second hangar at Basel’s EuroAirport this summer. The 90,500-sq-ft structure will be able to accommodate aircraft up to size of a Boeing 747, and the company already plans an extension to handle the Airbus 380. Work in the new hangar is to start in September with the arrival of a Boeing 777, the Swiss company’s third completion project, once again being done on behalf of a Middle Eastern owner.

The completions and maintenance specialist opened its first 45,000-sq-ft hangar in February 2009 and adjoining it, on the west side of Basel’s 16/34 main runway, is 215,000 sq ft of secure ramp space. The second hangar will triple AMAC’s under-roof space.
