Dee Howard Expands Services Dee Howard has expanded its services to include executive, VIP and head-of-state completions and refurbishment. With the arrival of a new Boeing 767-300 last week, the company has re-entered the aircraft completions market after being selected by Gore Design as the completion center. Designs for this Asian head-of-state aircraft are in the final stages. Customer delivery is scheduled for mid-2001. To handle the new work, Dee Howard will expand its site at San Antonio International Airport with construction of a $14 million, 100,000-square-foot completions hangar. It is expected to open in December. The new hangar was designed to house two widebody aircraft wing-tip to wing-tip or four narrowbody aircraft. The dedicated completions facility can also accommodate a Boeing 747SP with its higher tail. Production capacity is expected to increase from approximately two million to three million man-hours annually as a result of the addition.
Dee Howard says it introduced the first corporate aircraft interior
in the post-World War II era when it converted a Lockheed Ventura
for use by government officials. That started an industry focused
on providing transport for business personnel in private aircraft.
In addition, Dee Howard produced the first-ever Learjet mock-up
for Bill Lear. |
