Savoy, Ill.-based Flightstar opened its doors on an expanded 4,300-sq-ft interior fabrication shop. The shop, attached to the main maintenance, repair and overhaul hangar, was constructed exclusively to handle the anticipated increased demand for interior fabrication. The new interior shop includes an array of specializing tooling, a sanding bay, and a 380-sq-ft paint booth. This new paint booth is available for interior and exterior finishing work and can simultaneously work on on multiple components up to 20 feet long. 

"Our fabrication shop addition allows for Flightstar to perform all of our work in house, guaranteeing the highest quality of craftsmanship while allowing us to shorten our completion timelines,” said Rodd Caldwell, the MRO’s technical sales director. “This addition adds a new level of service…enabling additional projects to be completed during [customers'] regular maintenance cycles.”
