 In a second phase of construction, lasting till spring 2010, approximately CHF 22.5 ($20.8) million is being invested by AMAC Aerospace Switzerland AG in a wide-body hangar with floorspace of around 8,400 sq m, along with further workshops and offices. Building work will commence within the next few days, and the opening is scheduled for April 2010.
AMAC Aerospace Switzerland AG has been providing maintenance, refurbishment and completion services for corporate and private aircraft since mid-October 2008. The initial construction phase, which began at the end of March 2008, involved building a double hangar at EuroAirport with floorspace of 4,200 sq m, workshops and technical offices totalling 1,800 sq m and the company's own 20,000 sq m tarmac area. Construction work and final preparations for the facility at Basel-Mulhouse Airport were completed on schedule at the end of September 2008.
AMAC Aerospace's initial development phase is going according to plan. The company's workforce is set to expand from the current 180 to about 300 by the end of 2010. Heinz Köhli, CEO of AMAC Aerospace Switzerland AG, remains confident: "We are pleased that we have been able to continue expanding as planned, despite the difficult economic situation."
