Dallas Airmotive to open 30,000-SF facility at DFW Airport

DFW AIRPORT - Grapevine-based Dallas Airmotive Inc., a provider of turbine engine overhaul and repair services, has broken ground on its new 20-acre test facility and rotorcraft center at the southern end of Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.

Plans for the new 30,000-sf facility include a new rotorcraft center and six-cell test facility: three for turbo shaft engines and three for turbo fan engines.

The facility will feature a centralized state-of-the-art control room and a 15,000-sf pre- and post-test preparation area.

The move will help Dallas Airmotive consolidate portions of its turbine engine repair and overhaul business leading to a more streamlined and efficient business model, according to Doug Meador, president of Dallas Airmotive.
