Aircraft maintenance business West Star Aviation is seeing bluer skies in 2021 as it navigates one of its best years, and the company is eyeing another expansion in Chattanooga, an official said.
West Star is looking at the building of an additional hangar at Chattanooga Airport, according to the company and an online document.
Also, the Illinois-based company is seeking to add more employees to its existing 199 full-time aviation technicians in Chattanooga.
Debi Cunningham, West Star’s vice president of marketing, said there are discussions about expansion in Chattanooga.
“What we believe will happen is that we’re going to build a new hangar,” she said.
