With more than a year in business operating from a 12,000-sq-ft hangar at Davidson County Airport (KEXX) in Lexington, North Carolina, Sky Aircraft Maintenance (SAM) is planning a 65,000-sq-ft expansion project. It’s one of a few expansion programs underway for parent company Sky Aviation Holdings, president Tom Conlan told AIN.
SAM recently secured a 40-year lease on four acres of land from KEXX, where it plans to construct two 20,000-sq-ft hangars—one dedicated to aircraft maintenance and the other to avionics—and remaining space for offices and shops, including for paint, interiors, and woodworking. SAM also provides aircraft parts sales. Conlan said he hopes to begin construction early this summer with completion by the end of this year or the first of next year. SAM will continue to use its 12,000-sq-ft hangar for an aircraft parting-out operation.
