MRO C&L Aviation Group has completed construction of a 27,000-sq-ft parts warehouse adjacent to its component shop at its Bangor, Maine headquarters campus. Parts from its teardown of 15 aircraft—including a Bombardier Challenger 604 and nine ERJ-145 regional jets that it acquired from a European operator—and a multimillion-dollar purchase of ATR spare parts will be housed in the warehouse.

It is one of three warehouses C&L operates in Bangor, which together offer more than 50,000 sq ft of space for parts inventory. The company also has warehouses in Australia and Europe.

“We’ve made substantial investments in inventory for the regional and corporate aircraft operators we serve,” said C&L Aviation CEO Chris Kilgour. “The new warehouse space will provide us with room as we continue to expand.”

Besides the new warehouse, C&L Aviation has several other building projects that have been completed or are underway in Bangor since last year. They include the component shop that was converted from an events center near Bangor International Airport; a new 12,000-sq-ft interior shop; a 5,000-sq-ft addition to one of its hangars; an interior showcase and design center; and renovation of its corporate aircraft maintenance hangar. All these projects are expected to be completed by the end of this year.
