GEORGETOWN, Texas — Southwest Aerospace Technologies (SWAT) recently signed a long-term lease for a 12,000-square-foot hangar and its adjacent area at Georgetown Executive Airport (KGTU).
The additional space will enable SWAT to expand its service offerings, as well as its aircraft Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) capabilities, according to company officials.
“We are very excited about the expansion opportunities this property gives our business,” said Kurt Encinias, President and CEO of S.W.A.T. “We’re also excited to contribute to the City of Georgetown’s continued growth by providing additional jobs and other tangible economic benefits, including a high-net-worth customer base that will patronize local businesses when their aircraft is at our facility.”
The lease was officially signed on Dec. 11, 2024, and the company has already begun using the hangar, which can accommodate multiple aircraft at a time, for aircraft maintenance activities, according to company officials.
Work on the side rooms that will serve as office space is underway and due to be completed by the end of 2024.
SWAT is also remodeling the additional space behind the hangar, which will be used for customer offices and other functions. That work is expected to be finished in early 2025.
The total footprint of the new space is 41,000-square-feet, which allows for future growth and enhancements, company officials added.
SWAT currently has a 25,000-square-foot facility in west Georgetown located in Biz Park 29, which houses its FAA Repair Station, aircraft parts and components inventory, warehouse, and the sales and administrative functions. The company’s corporate and administrative offices will be relocating to the new facility, while the repair station, inventory, and warehouse will remain at the current location. The company also has a service hangar in Montreal, Canada, that performs maintenance on Rolls Royce BR710 engines, company officials said.
