Flying Colours Corp. To Open Brand New 100,000 Square Foot Hangar In Peterborough By Mid-2019
/As part of its global expansion, global aviation company Flying Colours has announced that plans are currently being finalized for the groundbreaking of a brand-new hangar by the end of fall 2018 at the Peterborough, Ontario facility.
The additional hangar—the fourth at Flying Colours Peterborough headquarters—is needed to provide additional capacity for completions, refurbishment and heavy maintenance work scopes on large jet airframes.
Here are renderings of what the hangar will look like when it opens mid-2019…

THE HANGAR WILL BE DIVIDED INTO 3 DISTINCT ZONES…
-> A new 40,000-square-feet, climate controlled, state-of-the-art paint shop will be added, supplementing the two existing dedicated paint shops. (It will be large enough to accommodate business jets up to Global 7500, Boeing Business Jet or Airbus A220 size airframes.)
-> A second area of 40,000 square feet has been designed to enable heavy maintenance and/or interior work on up to four Global 6000-size aircraft to take place simultaneously.
-> Two higher levels will be used for new customer offices, a second dedicated design-center at the facility, storage and general office space.
