Thornton Aviation has increased its capacity at California's Burbank Airport (KBUR) with a new hangar and expanded staff. The maintenance provider, headquartered in nearby Van Nuys, now operates out of two hangars at KBUR and can accommodate up to six large-cabin aircraft.

“Today, we are working on a Global 5000, a Gulfstream V, and we’re expecting a GIV. We also have a Falcon 7X about to deliver. We have 14 technicians on site today, although a couple are borrowed from Van Nuys,” said Rodney Bryant, general manager at KBUR. “Our long-term goal is to have 15 technicians based at this facility so that we are able to consistently work three to four aircraft at a time while having capacity for unscheduled work.”
