Summit Aviation will expand its Middletown, Delaware, operation with additional modification, maintenance, repair, and overhaul capabilities. The 78,000-square-feet expansion includes a 37,400-square-foot hangar that can accommodate eight Boeing CH-47 Chinook model aircraft or three Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey aircraft; a 9,200-square-foot paint facility; two cold storage units and an additional 11,400 square feet of support and office space.
This new expansion, along with the completion of a recent $2.5 million upgrade, also paves the way for additional corporate and general aviation capacity, company officials said.
The expansion is expected to be complete in the second quarter of 2011. Summit’s groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled for Wednesday, June 9, at 10 a.m.
