Salina Airport Authority Starts Large Aviation Service Center
Project
Detailed design work has begun for a massive 10-15 year
development project at the Salina Aviation Service Center to
accommodate short- and long-term aerospace growth planned by the
Salina Airport Authority.
The Salina Municipal Airport is home base for a wide variety of
businesses and operations including: Great Lakes Aviation, LLC.,
CAV Aerospace, Inc., Flower Aviation, Kansas Army National Guard
Aviation Support Facility, Kansas State University at Salina,
Kansas Highway Patrol Aviation, and Hawker Beechcraft Corporation.
The airport's FBOs annually deliver over 4 million gallons of fuel
to over 7,000 business jets and 5,000 government and military
aircraft earning the Airport recognition as "America's Fuel
Stop."
When completed the SLN Aviation Service Center will feature new
corporate hangars, air cargo facilities, office, shops and
T-hangars for small aircraft storage. The project encompasses a
large redevelopment area that today features 1950 era pavement,
drainage, utilities and streets installed when the airport was an
U. S. Air Force Strategic Air Command Base.
"This $800,000 design project is the largest professional
services contract in the airport's history and includes more than 2
million square feet of hangar, shops and office space spread over
100 acres of airport land," said Tim Rogers, A.A.E., Salina Airport
Authority executive director.
"The multimillion dollar development project will meet the
airport's short-term and long-term needs for economic expansion and
business growth," he added. The Salina Airport Authority has
selected BWR Corporation for the multi-year design project for a
fee of $800,785.
