West Star Aviation announces it is nearing completion of construction on a new, 60,000-square-foot hangar at its East Alton, IL (ALN), location. The hangar is anticipated to be operational by the end of fourth quarter of 2018.

With this hangar, we occupy over 380,000 square feet of hangar and shop space at St. Louis Regional Airport," says Scott Sweeney, general manager, West Star Aviation. "Having a new hangar provides us the necessary capacity to continue offering world-class service to our customers and ensure we meet scheduled deadlines."
