(Hebron, Ky.) – Governor Andy Beshear, local officials from Boone County, and leaders from F&E Aircraft Maintenance (FEAM Aero) gathered on Friday to celebrate the grand opening of the company’s new three-bay hangar at CVG.

The $45 million investment will create nearly 250 full-time positions, including at least 124 Kentucky-resident jobs.

The three-bay hangar will house Boeing 767 aircraft. The location includes 150,000 square feet of back shop space, 5,000 square feet of office space and 175,000 square feet of ramp access.

Jobs created at the hangar include aircraft mechanics and technicians, ground support equipment mechanics, administrative personnel, and management.

“We continue to see existing Kentucky industries grow and create quality jobs across the state, and the aerospace sector is no exception,” said Gov. Beshear. “FEAM Aero is the latest example of a company with an existing presence in the commonwealth to continue to invest and believe in our communities. This expansion will provide a huge boost to the Northern Kentucky economy and provide high-quality, well-paying jobs to the region. I am thrilled to be here today celebrating this grand opening and am excited to see FEAM Aero continue to succeed here in Kentucky.”
