By News Director Jared Atha

During a ground breaking ceremony, Gov. Kevin Stitt and local leaders announced on Monday that Premium Aerospace Center (PAC) will locate its international headquarters at the Oklahoma Air & Space Port in Burns Flat.

State officials said PAC will also invest several million dollars to renovate and expand two existing hangars and build a third hangar at the facility.

While addressing the crowd, Gov. Stitt said Burns Flat’s central location in the country attracted PAC.

The renovated hangars and new hangar will accommodate 737 and larger aircraft for paint and interior remodeling for airline companies with strategies to further expand their business model.

It was also announced that PAC will be working with Western Technology Center and other local workforce development leaders to develop a technical workforce to support its operations and growth plans.

Officials say PAC plans to develop their operation in a four phase plan over 5 years which ultimately could develop anywhere between 450 – 600 jobs.
