Lee Aerospace, a Wichita-based aircraft supplier, has expanded its repair capabilities and is increasing repair staff in Utah. As part of the expanded capabilities, the company added composite repairs for the main entry door assembly of the HondaJet and HondaJet Elite to its FAA Part 145 repair certificate.

It also has hired two new and repositioned two other seasoned A&Ps to Duncan Aviation’s new maintenance facility in Provo, though they can also be dispatched to other parts of the Western U.S., where the company is seeing rising customer demand, Lee v-p of marketing Malissa Nesmith told AIN. “We’re actively looking for additional A&Ps” for company sites in Provo, Wichita, and Florida.

The addition of the HondaJet work to Lee’s repair station certificate is an extension of the work it already does for Honda Aircraft. According to Nesmith, Lee manufactures the HondaJet’s composite main entry door assembly.

Founded in 1989 by president and owner Jim Lee, the company is widely known for its commercial, business, and general aviation aircraft cabin windows and cockpit windshields. It also is a supplier of major and complex aerostructures and assemblies to OEMs, including the fuselage of Viking Air’s Twin Otter.
