Wildfire-fighting Company Aero-Flite to Relocate to Spokane International Airport

According to an article in the Spokane Journal of Business, Aero-Flite Inc., a Kingman, Ariz.-based wild land firefighting company, is in the process of relocating its operations to a hangar on the south side of the airport, next to the air traffic control tower.

The company’s relocation is the subject of an aerospace business recruitment announcement scheduled to be held today, Nov. 20, by the Spokane Airport Board at Spokane International Airport and attended by Washington state Gov. Jay Inslee.

Aero-Flite is taking over a lease-and-operating agreement formerly held by JetTech Aerospace for most of the 70,000-square-foot, airport-owned hangar. Aero-Flite will occupy 30,000 square feet of floor space and an additional 20,000 square feet of office and maintenance shop space, says airport spokesman Todd Woodard.
