Aircraft hangar

for airport

A Rubb aviation hangar building project has assumed a prominent position at Aerohub, a UK aerospace focused Enterprise Zone, based in Newquay, Cornwall. The project will provide a large, custom designed space for Apple Aviation Group’s increased Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) operations. Apple Aviation has selected Aerohub at Newquay Cornwall Airport as the location for its aerospace maintenance facility headquarters. Rubb began constructing the main steel framework for the hangar in April and then fixed Thermohall® insulated PVC cladding to the structure to create its roof and walls. The Rubb hangar has the capacity to accommodate the storage, maintenance, repair and overhaul of large fixed wing aircraft such as a Boeing 757. A wide vertical lifting fabric Megadoor provides access to the hangar. Commercial Director of Apple Aviation, Bernard Longman, said: “Our MRO facility at Aerohub will include aircraft storage and recycling space and we look forward to building relationships with the local community and businesses in addition to contributing to the economy in the South West.”
