Yingling Aviation expects to complete its second major expansion project this year—the 14th building at its facility at Wichita Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport—by January, the company said today. Following a “significant” renovation, the 17,000-sq-ft warehouse will increase Yingling’s total facility space to more than 320,000 sq ft.

As a result of the expansion, Yingling has begun hiring more than 80 new employees—specifically A&P mechanics, sheet metal technicians, avionics technicians, and program managers. The company will use this facility for sheet metal repair for flight control surfaces, major structural components, precision cutting on avionics panels, modification, and other services. Yingling added its 13th hangar at the airport in January.
