Southwest to build first maintenance hangar in Denver
Southwest Airlines plans to begin constructing its first maintenance hangar at the Denver International this summer. According to a representative for carrier, the decision to add a new hangar in Denver was based on flight activity in the city and the airline’s “aggressive plans for the future” to continue supporting its network within the western half of the US. Southwest said it carries more local travellers to and from Denver than any other carrier. The nearly US$100m investment will make Denver International—which is one of the carrier’s top 5 airports for daily departures—the seventh maintenance hangar location for Southwest. The 130,000 sq. ft. hangar will give the location’s 75-member technical operations team indoor space to work on up to 3 of the carrier’s Boeing 737 aircraft at a time. <br/>
