Kelowna’s KF Aerospace to open 75,000 sqft facility in Ontario

One of Kelowna’s largest companies has announced a massive expansion out east.

On Friday, KF Aerospace broke ground on a $30-million expansion project based at Hamilton International Airport (YHM).

The project will include the construction of a new hanger purposed to service wide-bodied aircraft, but will also feature classroom space and state of the art maintenance shops for Mohawk College’s Aircraft Maintenance Engineer program.

Over the next four years, the project will bring 275 full time jobs to YHM upon completion of construction this October.

“KF's investment and expansion will triple its current business and the respective jobs associated with its core business and ultimately, create a positive economic impact to the City of Hamilton and the region of Ontario,” said John Munro with YHM.
