Aerospace Quality Research and Development (AQRD), an aerospace engineering and Part 145 repair station, has added two hangars totaling 40,000 sq ft at its base at Addison Airport (KADS) north of Dallas. The additional space allows AQRD to improve its AOG services including on-wing AOG structural composite repairs.

“We are always thinking of ways to support our customers better,” said AQRD CEO Raj Narayanan. “When the new facility became available for purchase, we knew it would be a great opportunity, especially for additional on-wing AOG needs.”

The new hangars are in addition to two other hangars totaling 40,000 sq feet at KADS that 20-year-old AQRD and its 56 employees occupy. They also will provide for an expansion of AQRD’s specialized composite processing equipment capabilities as well as off-wing repairs and STC upgrades to corporate, commercial, and military aircraft. Accelerated service is also expected with the additional hangars.
