Chennault International Airport

Chennault’s $4 million air cargo pass-through facility is the newest component in the airport's emergence as an aerospace center. The facility includes a 1,000 sq ft finished office area and a 9,000 sq ft warehouse, expandable to 30,000 sq ft. #aircargo #airports #logistics

We've put a state-of-the-art Oshkosh Striker 6x6 aircraft rescue and firefighting vehicle into service. It has an onboard water capacity of 3,000 gallons plus AFFF foam (for fuel fires) and PKP (a dry chemical). First-tier safety as we continue to grow. #mro #safety #aircargo
