Jets MRO has moved into a 40,000-sq-ft hangar at Dallas Executive Airport (KRBD, formerly Redbird Airport) and simultaneously welcomed its 100th aircraft serviced since launching operations in May. “The arrival of a Bombardier Challenger 300 as the first jet in the new hangar marks a pivotal moment for Jets MRO, which has quickly established itself as a leader in maintenance for Cessna Citations and Bombardier Learjets and Challengers,” the company said.
The new maintenance hangar was developed under a partnership with Jet Access, which in late 2022 broke ground on 60,000 sq ft of additional hangar space with 8,000 sq ft of offices, as well as an 8,000-sq-ft FBO terminal. Jet Access opened the new terminal facility in March.
According to both companies, KRBD is just minutes from Dallas Love Field and has updated runways. “Jets MRO is proud to be a catalyst for economic and job growth in South Dallas that has long wanted economic investment in the region,” Jets MRO added.
