StandardAero Celebrates Grand Opening of Major Expansion to Its Business Aviation MRO Facility in Augusta

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– StandardAero (NYSE: SARO), a leading
independent pure-play provider of aerospace engine aftermarket services, including engine
maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) and engine component repair, today celebrated
the grand opening of its newly expanded business aviation facility at Augusta Regional
Airport (AGS/KAGS) in Augusta, Ga. The larger campus increases the company’s capacity
to serve business aviation operators across North America and beyond, while bringing
approximately 100 new technically skilled jobs and investment to the region.
The expansion project represents a 60 percent increase to the StandardAero Augusta
facility, adding 80,500 square feet of hangar, engine shop, advanced avionics, and customer
amenities designed to enhance the overall maintenance experience. This investment
specifically enables increased Honeywell HTF7000 engine MRO capacity, a market in which
StandardAero is licensed by the OEM as the exclusive independent heavy overhaul
provider, along with increased airframe services capabilities for large cabin business jets.
Established in 1974, the StandardAero Augusta site provides comprehensive maintenance
and repair support for select business aviation aircraft, including Bombardier, Dassault
Falcon, Embraer, Gulfstream and Hawker platforms, plus engine and APU models including
the Honeywell HTF7000, TFE731 and GTCP36 APU.
“Today marks a major milestone for StandardAero and for our customers,” said Russell
Ford, Chairman and CEO of StandardAero. “This expansion reinforces our long-term
commitment to the business aviation community and to Augusta, where we’ve proudly
operated for more than 50 years. We’re growing to meet the needs of our customers,
investing in our people, and building on our reputation for industry-leading quality and
service.”
The grand opening of the now 210,000 square foot campus was commemorated with a
ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by company executives, local and state officials,
customers and employees. The event also showcased the company’s enhanced
maintenance capabilities and highlighted new career opportunities for skilled technicians,
engineers and support staff in the Augusta area.
“This expansion is all about readiness and responsiveness,” said Anthony Brancato,
President of StandardAero’s Business Aviation division. “We’re listening to our customers,
and they’re asking for more capacity, faster turn times and a partner they can trust with their
most valuable assets. With this investment in Augusta, we’re answering that call – with more
space, added expertise, and the same unwavering commitment to excellence.”
While airframe maintenance services are already in work in the new hangar, the company
expects the new engine shop facility – which has been designed specifically to meet the
growing demand for Honeywell HTF7000 engine MRO – to be fully operational in the first
half of 2026, and is actively hiring to support its expanded operations. StandardAero
employs approximately 175 people today at the Augusta facility and nearly 7,700 worldwide.
