Barr to build new Ryanair hangar
22.02.10
Barr Construction is to build a new maintenance hangar for Ryanair at Prestwick Airport. The £8m three-bay facility will be used - along with Ryanair's existing maintenance hangar at the airport - to service the budget airline's entire fleet of more than 200 aircraft. Work on the 6600 sqm building has already started and it is due to be completed in time for it to open in October 2010.
Announcing the new hangar last week, Ryanair said it would ‘allow up to 200 high-tech well paid jobs to be created from September this year’. Barclay Chalmers, managing director of Barr Construction, said: ‘This contract enables us to continue our involvement in the on-going upgrade of Prestwick Airport. We completed the expansion and refurbishment of the departure lounge late last year.’
The Scottish Government is contributing £1.5m to the project - £890,000 in Regional Selective Assistance and £640,000 in training grants.
