Today marks an exciting milestone as we celebrate the groundbreaking for the Eastside Development Expansion at the Acadiana Regional Airport. This transformative project will include a new three-bay aircraft maintenance hangar capable of servicing three Boeing 767-sized aircraft simultaneously, allowing Avex to double our existing maintenance capacity and continue supporting the growing needs of the aviation industry.
This achievement would not have been possible without the incredible support and partnership of so many individuals and organizations. We extend our sincere gratitude to Acadiana Regional Airport, M. Larry Richard Iberia Parish President, Iberia Industrial Development Foundation, One Acadiana, Beau Beaullieu, District 48 State Representative, Blake Miguez, U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, Delta Regional Authority, Governor Jeff Landry, Louisiana Secretary of State, Louisiana Economic Development and the many other partners who believed in this vision and helped make it a reality.
This expansion represents more than a new facility—it is an investment in economic growth, job creation, workforce development, and the future of aviation in Acadiana and throughout Louisiana.
We look forward to the opportunities ahead and are proud to continue growing right here at home.
