Barr to build new Prestwick Airport hangar for Ryanair
22.02.10
Barr Construction has won the contract to build a second maintenance hangar for Ryanair at Prestwick Airport. The £8m three-bay facility will be used - with the existing maintenance hangar at the airport - to service the budget airline's fleet of more than 200 aircraft. Work on the 6600 sq m building has already started and it is due to open in October 2010.
Announcing the new hangar last week, Ryanair said the project to build the maintenance hangar 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 will enable us to continue our involvement in the on-going upgrade of Prestwick Airport, having completed the expansion and refurbishment of the departure lounge late last year.’
The Scottish Government is contributing £1.5million to the project - £890,000 in Regional Selective Assistance and £640,000 in training grants.
