Executive & VIP Aviation InternationalThe Jacksonville Aviation Authority Board of Directors has approved a lease with KCI Aviation for the construction of a new 30,000-square-foot hangar facility at Cecil Airport.
Helping companies fulfil their business needs is a priority emphasised by Florida Secretary of Commerce, Gray Swoope, who serves as president & CEO of Enterprise Florida, the state's principal, economic development organisation. "KCI's expansion to Jacksonville demonstrates Florida's ability to provide the right site and infrastructure that companies need to maximize their operations," Swoope said. "We welcome KCI to our business community and will value the company's contributions to our economic growth."
KCI, which is based in Bridgeport, WV, specializes in inspection, maintenance and repair of business jets and turbo-props, notably those powered by Pratt and Whitney engines. KCI plans to hire a minimum of 30 workers by the end of 2014 with an approximate average annual wage of $46,000.
Construction of the new hangar and office facility is expected to begin in March with an anticipated completion date in early 2013.
