The company is finishing construction of an 84,000-square-foot facility at Portsmouth International, the air operations side of Pease Tradeport. Flight operations have already moved into the 44,000-square-foot hangar along with the offices for maintenance, inspection and quality control. The remainder of the 40,000 square feet of office space will be home to flight operations, management and corporate offices. The move will be completed over the next two months.
"We're keeping the facility in Londonderry," Antoniadis said, "because we're already outgrowing the new building at Pease." He indicated that they have expansion options at Pease that will be considered as the company continues to grow.
The new building features design for energy savings and efficient operations. The hangar has radiant floor heating, for example, and a door that opens upward rather than the traditional sliding door.
