巴拿马城, FL(9月13日), 2023) — In a boon for regional economic development, a国际航空维修, repair and overhaul (MRO) company will soon break ground at Northwest 佛罗里达 Beaches International Airport (ECP), 带来超过32美元.5 million of capital investment and 创造250个高薪工作岗位 in the next four years.

Premier Aviation USA Overhaul 服务 (Premier Aviation), 总部设在魁北克市, Canada will open its second location in Bay County, 佛罗里达. 这个项目, dubbed “Project Mapleâ€� in a nod to the company’s Canadian roots, is the result of two years of efforts by ECP and 海湾经济发展联盟 to expand the region’s aviation sector.

“Family is our most important core value, and we are overjoyed to be expanding in Bay County and creating new opportunities for people to prosper in their hometown,西尔万·佩隆说, Premier Aviation总裁. “We look forward to being part of this community and are eager to break ground and establish ourselves as the region’s leader in aircraft maintenance.â€�

“This project could have gone anywhere in the United States and Premier Aviation chose Bay County,霍莉·梅尔泽说, chair of the Northwest 佛罗里达 Beaches International Airport Board of Directors. €œWith主要客户在东南部, the company recognized that our centralized location would be an advantage, as is our proven capacity to train talent in the aircraft maintenance sector.â€�

“This is a milestone moment along our journey to further diversify our community’s employment base, 特别是在高工资方面, 高技能的工作,帕特里克·琼斯说, 湾区发展促进会执行委员会主席. “Premier Aviation will be an excellent asset to the region and will complement the accelerated growth at our airport.â€�

为新员工做准备, Haney Technical College will facilitate tailored courses in aviation maintenance. Haney currently trains students in both aviation airframe mechanics and aviation powerplant mechanics. The 40 to 50 aviation mechanics trained each year have had to leave the community to find work without maintenance, 维修和操作服务, 但这种情况可能不会持续太久.

Premier Aviation plans for the Bay County operation to become “the center of excellence� on Embraer and ATR products: the ERJ 145, EMB 175/190 and the ATR42/72 series aircraft, which range in passenger capacity from 40 to 106 seats. The company estimates it will hire 10 employees in 2024 and 80 in each subsequent year through 2026. Wages are anticipated to be over 115% of the Bay County average.
总的来说，大约是13美元.75 million of private payroll will be added to the region annually. Premier Aviation plans to work closely with CareerSource Gulf Coast on their hiring and recruiting plans.

Construction has not yet begun on the two-bay, narrow body hangar but is expected to ramp up quickly, 预计于2025年夏季完工. Half of the funds will come through Triumph Gulf Coast, a nonprofit that oversees expenditure of economic damage funds
从2010年深水地平线石油泄漏事件. The other half will come from Space 佛罗里达 and Premier Aviation through a conduit financing structure. Space 佛罗里达 will own the facility and long-term lease the facility to Premier Aviation.

This major investment from an aviation MRO is a step toward the establishment of the Aviation Center of Excellence at ECP, with a goal to provide a ready pipeline of workforce for future maintenance, 维修和操作服务. As one of the newest international airports in the United States with 3,000可开发英亩, 全球空中交通网络, and development-ready sites adjacent to a 10,000英尺的跑道, the airport is well positioned to attain its goal.
