West Star Aviation's base in Grand Junction, Colo., is holding an open house this Friday to showcase its new 45,000-sq-ft, two-bay paint facility. Dave Krogman, general manager, told AIN, “Several things went into the decision to add a second, larger facility. We have had far more demand than capacity, but equally important the industry is moving toward larger aircraft and global travel. We always want to move forward with our customers. They’re moving into larger aircraft and they expect us to be able to take care of their maintenance requirements, including paint.”
