West Star Adds Landing Gear Service in Chattanooga
As as result of its major expansion at Lovell Field last year, the company can now offer MRO service for landing gear on certain airframes.

MRO provider West Star Aviation has increased the service offerings at its recently expanded Chattanooga facility, with the addition of landing gear repair and overhaul for a variety of airframes.


West Star completed the major expansion at its Lovell Field location last year, which included a 65,000-sq-ft maintenance facility with 40,000 sq ft of hangar space, and a 45,000-sq-ft paint facility that can accommodate business jets up to an Embraer Lineage 1000.


The upgraded facility also includes an accessory and component shop, which allows the company to increase its support for the Embraer Phenom 100 and 300, King Airs, and Learjets (excluding the 40 series), by adding landing gear inspection and repair as well as wheel and battery service.


“With the larger facility, we are able to expand our market presence and services to our customers, while continuing our proven success for landing gear repair and overhaul, along with performing any other maintenance requirements at the same time,” noted Steve Goede, the location’s general manager. “With each added capability, we are able to provide our customers the convenience of a one-stop shop.”
