“It feels good knowing that we can pull it off and telling the owner and shareholders that we can make this work. It is largely because the paint booth is working exactly as designed. I cannot think of a single thing that has not worked as designed. Everything has worked exactly the way we have wanted it to.”

Jetstream Aviation’s paint shop in Kinston, North Carolina, became operational in 2021, with a GFS Aircraft Paint Booth that measures 95 feet wide, 30 feet high and 104 feet deep. An airflow rate of 210,000 CFM, coupled with an air-cooled chiller and heated Air Make-Up Units (AMUs), give Jetstream the ability to complete basic repairs to the most complex ones, in the least amount of time possible.
