Services & Facilities In 2003, the City teamed up with the Florida Department of Transportation and Federal Aviation Administration to fund and complete the restoration of the aircraft parking apron and taxiway serving the City’s Fixed Base Fueling Operations Center. The industrial park adjacent to U.S. 90 East was also improved by completion of an access road and taxiway renovation funded by the Florida Governors Office of Economic Development. The over $1 million in State and Federal improvement funds spent will benefit air traffic and business tenants such as Pre-Flight, Aviation Maintenance, Bailey Aviation, CHC labs, Inc., Trauma One, and Timco’s aircraft maintenance and repair facility. Timco A major tenant at the city’s airport, Timco, is one of the world’s largest independent providers of heavy aircraft maintenance services. The company leases six maintenance hangars and a dedicated two-bay hangar for aircraft painting operations. Timco’s staff mechanics perform contract work on commercial jets for major and regional airlines, as well as cargo carrier and military aircraft. The company also supports the total community by being a benefactor to various charities. |
