Everything from electricians to painters to engineers are being eyed to build the new location from the ground-up. The new CAVU location will also be an opportunity for local vendors to work with the company.
Jobs in maintenance and repair will start at around $50,000 and up.
The Mesa location will be housed at the Landing at PMG, a newly opened subdivision just north of the airport, and is targeted to open in November. The 80,000-square-foot facility named CAVU Component Repair will repair wide, narrow-body, and regional aircraft for Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier, and Ebraer aircraft types. The economic impact will be felt throughout the community,” said Kim Lofgreen, Marketing & Business Development Manager for the City of Mesa’s Office of Economic Development.ĬAVU Aerospace, an Arkansas-based aerospace manufacturer with plant locations in Roswell, New Mexico, Victorville, California, and Goodyear, Arizona, is investing in a new aircraft maintenance facility near Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport in East Mesa. “The 75 jobs, with a wage higher than the county average, will be filled by people who live in the area or will move to the area and purchase homes, goods, and services from local vendors, restaurants, and stores. Now, a new $5 million contract is adding to that, planning to bring on 75 new jobs over the next three years in the industry. The former continues to drive business between our state and Mexico, and the latter continues to grow at a fast clip.įrom Tucson to Phoenix, the aerospace industry in Arizona has always been a staple of a greater engineering effort, hiring technical minds and putting them to work for the last 70 years.
But it should also be known for its two A’s: agriculture and aerospace. Arizona is known for its five C’s: citrus, cattle, copper, cotton, and climate.
