Southwest Aerospace Technologies (S.W.A.T.) announced that it has completed the move of its corporate and administrative offices to their new facility at the Georgetown Executive Airport (KGTU), and the maintenance hangar is fully operational. Aircraft maintenance activities at the 12,000 square foot hangar have been underway for the last few months,while work on the office space and adjacent areas was being completed. The expansion to the Executive Airport has enhanced S.W.A.T.’s service offerings, enabling the operation of a full-service aircraftMaintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO).
“We are very excited that our new MRO is open for business,” said Kurt Encinias, President and CEO of S.W.A.T. “The expansion of our maintenance capabilities allows us to provide customers with the full range of services to meet all their maintenance needs. We have the capacity on-site to perform aircraft inspections, routine maintenance, unscheduled maintenance and aircraft modifications or upgrades, as well as engine removal and replacement. We look forward to welcoming customers to our facility.” The company also operates an FAA/EASA/CAA/TCCA certified 145 repair station, located in east Georgetown along with its warehouse and parts and components inventory. S.W.A.T. is an Authorized Starlink Distributor, one of just a few companies in the state of Texas with that capability.
S.W.A.T. signed a long-term lease agreement with the City of Georgetown in December for the hangar and adjacent space, which totals 41,000 square feet. The large footprint gives S.W.A.T. the ability to continue its strategic expansion. “We are committed to serving the needs of our worldwide customer base,” added Encinias. “Expanding our facilities along with our capabilities allows us to provide customers with more extensive maintenance support as well as help position us for continued growth.” A grand opening celebration at the new facility is being held on July 9th.
