MAAS Aviation To Add Two Paint Shops

Aircraft painter MAAS Aviation Brookley Inc. has unveiled its plan to expand operations at Brookley Field Mobile. The company currently operates three painting hangars at Brookley and is poised to receive an award to operate two additional paint shops starting in February 2024. The proposed investment of $1.6 million will focus on capital improvements in jigs and tooling, which would be integral to the expansion. Up to 150 new full-time jobs are to be created within five years. MAAS has plans to increase its recurring spending in the local market on goods and services from between $5 million and $7 million in 2023 to more than $15 million by 2028.
