C&L Aviation Group has completed the construction of a 27,000 sq ft parts warehouse on its Bangor, Maine campus, adjacent to the company's component shop. The company will be utilising the warehouse to store parts from its current 15 aircraft teardown projects comprising the nine ERJ 145 aircraft the company purchased from a European-based operator, two E170, two Saab 340B+, one ATR72 and one Challenger 604, and a recent multi-million dollar ATR spare parts purchase made by the company.

The new building is one of three warehouse locations the company now has in Bangor, which when combined total over 50,000 sq ft of parts storage space. C&L also has warehouses strategically located around the globe in Australia and Europe.

“We've made substantial investments in inventory for the regional and corporate aircraft operators we serve,” says Chris Kilgour, CEO of C&L. “The new warehouse space will provide us with room as we continue to expand.”

The warehouse is one of five building projects C&L has been working on over the past 18 months. In 2020 the company purchased a local events centre near Bangor airport and converted it into its component shop, where it works on smaller aircraft components. The company is also in the middle of building a new, 12,000 sq ft interior shop, a 5,000 sq ft add-on to one of its hangars for storage and renovating its corporate aircraft maintenance hangar, which includes new floors, walls, customer offices and an interior showcase and design centre. All these projects are expected to be completed by the end of 2021.
