KCAC Aviation has broken ground on a maintenance hangar at its Johnson County Executive Airport (KOJC) facility in Olathe, Kansas. The 30,000-sq-ft facility—expected to be completed by mid-2025—will double the company’s Part 145 maintenance capacity, which includes services ranging from routine inspections to major overhaul repairs.
KCAC is the factory-authorized sales and service center for Pilatus and Piper in the Midwest, and the additional space will allow it to maintain the growing number of those aircraft in its sales region.
“Our maintenance team has grown by 50% since 2021,” said Bill Lento, the company’s director of maintenance. “With this expansion, our maintenance and avionics teams will be able to work on more projects at once, which in turn will mean better service for our customers and better opportunities for our employees to grow.”
In addition to aircraft sales and maintenance, KCAC—which is approaching its sixth decade in operation—also provides aircraft charter and FBO services at KOJC.
