California’s Newest Mega-Hangar Complex Opens at FYI
12/18/2007

Fresno , CA - Scott Aircraft is pleased to announce the official opening of the largest new aircraft complex located at Fresno Yosemite International Airport. An open house celebration will be held on Tuesday, December 18 beginning at 10:00 am until 6:00 pm at 3050 N. Winery Avenue.

The $7 million complex is specifically designed to serve the fast-growing corporate jet market; an industry surging due to the production of larger, faster, and more fuel-efficient jets. The new mega-hangar consists of 40,000 square feet of private jet storage space, modern above ground fuel tank systems, a 6,500 square foot administration office, and jet maintenance support.

Scott Aviation LLC., a second Scott company, will be based at the new hangar complex. The company will provide charter air service with the first ever Citation Mustang business jet released from Cessna Aircraft Company. The Mustang, owned by Scott, carries four passengers, flies at an altitude of 41,000 feet at over 400 miles per hour and is the fastest selling jet in Cessna’s history.

Kent Scott, President of Scott Aircraft, believes that Fresno incorporates the attributes for attracting new business to the Central Valley that supports Scott’s intention to be at the forefront of the jet service market. “We are very proud to bring the kind of service to the Fresno aviation community that we now can provide with this first phase of our development project at Fresno Yosemite International Airport,” said Scott. Future Scott Aviation developments include a multi-million facility at Chandler Executive Airport, and an expansion at FYI.

Within the last three years, Scott Aircraft has launched five local aviation companies. The company has been extremely pleased with the support from Mayor Alan Autry, the Fresno City Council, and the FYI management team. The new complex is just the beginning of a long-term expansion of Scott Aviation’s ability to support the City with economic development endeavors by providing key aviation infrastructure.
