Cessna Building Huge Jet Service Center

$61 Million Facility Biggest Of Its Kind

It's another sign that the aviation industry is starting to believe in itself again. Cessna's building the biggest jet service center in the world, a $61 million facility that's longer than five football fields.

"It's the largest building project I've ever been involved in," said Joel Davis, Cessna's manager for systems and facilities development for Citation service centers. He was quoted in the Sunday edition of the Wichita Eagle.

The service center is scheduled to open in January, with the ability to perform maintenance on up to 120 jets a day.

Six hundred Cessna workers are slated to move to the new facility in Wichita, along with 500 new hires. Cessna is looking ahead -- there's room on the service center campus for several more hangars.

The Wichita facility is one of ten or so Cessna is building in the United States and France to maintain its growing jet fleet.
