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.

“We’re excited to see Yingling grow and are happy to partner with them on necessary property improvements,” said Wichita Airport Authority director of airports Jesse Romo. “They’ve made great investments at the airport and continue to develop jobs along the way. This is a win-win situation that’s good for both the airport and for the community.”

According to Yingling president Andrew Nichols, the company’s growth shows no signs of slowing. “For our community, customers, vendors, and potential employees, we are looking forward to announcing more exciting news in the coming months,” he said. “The momentum is there, and we are not slowing down. There is more to come.”
