Velocity Maintenance Solutions (Velocity), an FAA-certified provider of maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services, today announced a major expansion of its hangar facilities at its headquarters at Wilmington Airport (ILG) in Delaware.
Velocity currently operates a 20,000-square-foot hangar facility at ILG and is preparing to move into a neighboring 75,000-square-foot facility, with 40,000 square feet of hangar space. The new location will double the company's hangar footprint, providing significantly greater capacity to support scheduled maintenance, inspections and other MRO work. The move is expected to be complete by the end of the month. As Velocity continues to expand its capabilities and customer base, the company also expects to grow its workforce over the next 12 to 18 months, adding certified technicians and other aviation professionals in the Wilmington area.
Velocity offers aircraft on ground (AOG) support, scheduled maintenance, avionics, pre-buy inspections, non-destructive testing, state-of-the-art digital dent assessment and mapping, and parts procurement. The company also operates a fleet of 14 mobile repair team (MRT) trucks that provide nation-wide coverage, with emphasis on the east coast. Trucks are based at ILG, Teterboro Airport (TEB), Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport (FLL), Scottsdale Airport (SDL), Cincinnati Municipal Airport – Lunken Field (LUK) and Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE).
"The expansion of our facilities at ILG represents an important next step in Velocity's continued growth," says Bryan Weiss, CEO, Velocity Maintenance Solutions. "Moving from our current 20,000-square-foot hangar into a 75,000-square-foot facility gives our team substantially more capacity and flexibility to support our customers, expand our scheduled maintenance capabilities and accommodate larger and more complex projects."
Michael Baker, President of Velocity Maintenance Solutions, adds, "Our team has considerable experience supporting all principal business aircraft OEMs, including Bombardier, Gulfstream, Dassault Falcon, Textron and Embraer. We have built our operation around safety, quality, responsiveness and service excellence. The additional space at ILG will allow us to support more aircraft simultaneously, improve workflow and turnaround times, and continue expanding the level of service we provide to both existing and prospective customers."
