West Star Aviation and state and local officials formally announced plans for the aircraft maintenance company to add 200 jobs in Hamilton County.
The company, which operates in hangar space at Chattanooga Airport, plans to invest $32 million, officials said in a news release Tuesday.
In December, a West Star official told airport officials the company was looking to grow by 200 to 250 people in accordance with its five-year plan.
At that time, the official said West Star employed 495 workers.
Tuesday’s announcement marks the company’s third expansion since landing at the airport about a decade ago.
