Sierra Nevada’s subsidiary Sierra Completions has confirmed plans to build an aircraft completions complex in Colorado Springs, US, with an investment of $88m.

Planned to be built in the Colorado Aerospace Park at the Colorado Springs Airport, the complex will create 2,100 jobs.

The company has secured $23.2m incentives from Colorado Economic Development Commission for the project.

"This new subsidiary of SNC will serve as an anchor tenant for the state’s emerging commercial aerospace industry."

Sierra Completions president Jon Burgoyne said: "We were very pleased with the cooperation and commitment brought to the table by state and local officials, proving they’re invested as much in the success of Sierra Completions as we are.

"This new subsidiary of SNC will serve as an anchor tenant for the state’s emerging commercial aerospace industry, while also building on the company’s decades of experience in aircraft systems."

The company expects to begin work on the completion centre in the coming days following final agreements.

The completion centre will be one of its kind in the US to accommodate Airbus A350 and Boeing 747 and 787 wide-body aircraft.

Sierra Completions will provide design, modification, integration, modernisation, aircraft maintenance, and overhaul services.

The company serves private sector V-VIPs and heads of state, remodelling aircraft interiors to create an ‘office in the sky’.
