Corporate and military MRO provider King Aerospace is readying a new facility in Albuquerque, New Mexico to handle aircraft maintenance and flight dispatch operations for the U.S. Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA). Housed in an existing NNSA hangar on Kirtland Air Force Base with room for two narrowbody airliners, the company-branded facility will begin operation on May 17 to support the NNSA's fleet of three Boeing 737-400 Combi and one DC-9 Combi.
