Even with 200,000 sq ft between four hangars at Ardmore Industrial Airpark in Oklahoma, space is at a premium for MRO provider King Aerospace, which is why it is now laying plans for additional expansion. The Dallas-based company that specializes in VVIP aircraft is looking to add a fifth, 90,000-sq-ft hangar.

That hangar will increase its covered space by 45 percent and provide additional room for multiple large jets and shops to support large aircraft interior projects. Once construction begins, it’s expected to last between 12 and 15 months.

In addition to VVIP aircraft, King Aerospace provides depot services for military and government aircraft at its Ardmore site, which has a 9,000-foot runway to accommodate VVIP and ultra-long-range business jets. A second 5,300-foot runway supports turboprops and light and midsize jets. King’s civil aircraft services include maintenance, avionics, paint, and interior refurbishment.
