During the current economic climate, when many completion and refurbishment centers are struggling–some merely to survive–Savannah Air Center appears to be doing quite well. In fact, the Savannah, Ga. center is doing well enough to embark on construction of a new 12,500-sq-ft cabinetry shop and begin planning for an additional 70,000-sq-ft hangar.
The company opened its doors in December 1999 with a 50,000-sq-ft, two-bay facility offering no more than exterior paint work. Three years later, the sprawling facility on the southeast corner of Savannah International Airport is also handling major interior completion and refurbishment work, as well as avionics repair and upgrades and maintenance. On the wall are FAA, JAA and Bermuda repair station approvals. The company’s repair station ticket covers the GII through the GV, as well as the Falcon 50. According to v-p of sales and marketing Bill Johnson, by the end of the year, the center will add to that list the Challenger 600 line and the rest of the Falcon line in 2004.
