West Star Aviation Expands MRO Facility in Chattanooga

West Star Aviation has announced an expansion of its maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facility in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The project, developed in partnership with Tectonic Management Group, aims to enhance the company’s capacity and services. Construction is scheduled to begin in the third quarter, with completion expected about a year later.

“This expansion highlights our ongoing commitment to meeting the needs of our customers as their requirements evolve,” said Allen McReynolds, president and COO of West Star Aviation. “We are investing in infrastructure that not only supports the growing demands of our market but also ensures that we maintain the high level of service our customers expect.”

Included in the expansion is a new 40,000-sq-ft maintenance hangar, accompanied by 15,600 sq ft of shop, office, and storage space. Additionally, a 34,000-sq-ft two-story building will be constructed, with the first floor dedicated to shop space and the second floor reserved for future office use. A leased building, formerly the Chattanooga Airport’s vehicle maintenance facility, will also undergo light renovations to accommodate carpet cutting, vehicle storage, and building maintenance operations.

The project is supported by the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development, the City of Chattanooga, Hamilton County, and the TVA Economic Development Group.
