JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Oct. 28, 2021<\/strong> \u2014 Boeing [NYSE: BA<\/a>] today broke ground to begin construction of a new 370,000 square-foot maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facility located at Cecil Airport that, once complete, will support Boeing\u2019s ability to deliver readiness outcomes for U.S. government customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The facility will include eight new hangars, additional work space and offices where Boeing maintainers, engineers and data analysts will support U.S. Navy and Air Force aircraft. The facility\u2019s close proximity to Naval Air Station Jacksonville, Boeing\u2019s Training Systems Center of Excellence in west Jacksonville, and local academic institutions make it a leading location for the development and delivery of innovative product support, underpinned by collaborative research and engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The groundbreaking ceremony celebrates a 25-year lease agreement between Boeing and the Jacksonville Aviation Authority (JAA). Under the agreement, the JAA will construct and lease to Boeing new facilities on approximately 30 acres located on the northeast side of Cecil Airport, near Boeing\u2019s existing MRO site. Construction is anticipated to be completed in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since opening its existing MRO facilities at Cecil Airport in 1999, Boeing teammates have maintained, modified and upgraded 1,030 aircraft for the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps, including the F\/A-18 A-D Hornet, F\/A-18 E\/F Super Hornet and EA-18G Growler.  The Boeing team at the site also converts F\/A-18 Super Hornets into flight demonstration aircraft for the U.S. Navy\u2019s Blue Angel squadron as well as modifies retired F-16s into the next generation of autonomous aerial targets for the U.S. Air Force.  The facility is also home to a Flight Control Repair Center that provides structural repairs to F\/A-18 A-F and EA-18G flight control surfaces.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
