In September, the company announced that it intended to expand its MRO services to Fulton County Executive Airport at Brown Field in Atlanta. A similar announcement was made at Smyrna/Rutherford County Airport in Nashville in the spring of 2022.
Despite this development, maintenance, repair and overhaul work has been thriving in Dayton lately.
Sierra Nevada Corp. is bidding on projects that would lead to a major expansion at the Dayton International Airport, according to Mark Williams, senior vice president of strategy.
“If we win the big opportunity, that will turn into four of those type hangars plus North America’s largest emissions-free paint hangar,” Williams recently told the Dayton Daily News. “But that’s all contingent on us winning the business.”
With the first Sierra Nevada hangar, which officially opened in February 2023, the two hangars will have a combined 150 employees in Dayton and Beavercreek.
While Brady Hauboldt, vice president, business development for Sierra Nevada, said in an interview last summer that it was too soon to offer details, he believes steady growth is in the company’s future.
“We have some very promising opportunities in 2024 and 2025 to bring a lot more work to Dayton,” he said. “It’s a little early to talk about what those might be, and who we would be supporting, but yes, we have site plans and agreements with the city of Dayton ... to continue our growth with more hangars.”
