Southwest Opens its Largest Hangar for Technical Operations at Houston's Hobby Airport

摘要

Southwest Airlines officially opened a new maintenance facility at William P. Hobby International Airport and the airline says this underscores its commitment to safety while investing in the city. The 240,000 square foot maintenance complex, now the largest in the airline's network, includes offices, training facilities, warehouse space, and a 140,000 square foot hangar. This allows for the nearly 400 Houston based Technical Operations employees to work simultaneously on up to six 737 aircraft indoors and has space for an additional eight aircraft outside the hangar bays. It replaces Southwest's smaller Technical Operations facility at Hobby Airport, which opened in 1988.
