Upgraded Paint Facility
HAECO Americas added aircraft painting services at our Lake City, Florida MRO facility in early 2022 to support its North American airline partners and its passenger-to-freighter conversion services. The new facility provides complete paint stripping, scruff-sanding and new topcoat services in the upgraded Hangar 9. Those upgrades include new divider curtains, climate-controlled paint storage, and upgraded heating and fire suppression systems, with an improved wastewater treatment system scheduled for completion later this year. This facility specializes in painting single-aisle aircraft, but it has provided the service for twin-aisle aircraft such as the Boeing 767-400,
