Aero-Flite Opens New Hangar in Chico, California

Aero-Flite Inc. is pleased to announce the company will be opening a second hangar location in Chico, California. Chico Airport Commission authorized leasing the 45,000 square feet of hangar space located at 77 Piper Avenue, with occupancy taking place March 1, 2024.

“Aero-Flite is growing. We added two Dash 8-400AT to our fleet in 2022, contracted to Washington State for four years, and this year we are accepting another Dash 8-400AT from Conair” shared Chris Niemann, General Manager at Aero-Flite. “That will bring our total number of large airtankers in the fleet to fourteen including seven RJ85s and four CL415s. And we plan to continue adding Dash 8-400AT airtankers. To accommodate this growth, we needed additional hangar space. The new hangar space in Chico gives us the ability to perform heavy maintenance on a portion of the fleet during the winter, plus operational maintenance during the fire season, supported by our main hangar operations in Spokane Washington.” Read more….
