Mid-Continent Aviation Services (MCAS) is a few months away from completing a more than $5.7 million hangar project at Wichita Eisenhower National Airport (KICT) that will give the MRO provider much-needed space. “We are coming down to the finish, which is great,” MCAS director Kelly Lousch told AIN. “We have a roof. The wall structure is up. I think the long pole in the tent right now is the hangar door itself, which is expected to be delivered at the end of April.” The hangar is expected to be operational this July, Lousch added.
Continued growth at MCAS during its 12 years in business is the reason for the new hangar. “We have outgrown this space with the way that our business has been expanding,” she said. “We historically have taken care of small piston and turboprop and light jet aircraft. We have just effectively grown into a market where we’re dealing with larger aircraft and servicing more customers.”
