As part of the continuing modernization at William P. Hobby International Airport, Southwest Airlines decided to develop a new, expanded aircraft maintenance operation and service center at one of their largest hubs. The 240,000 square foot maintenance complex, now the largest in the airline’s network, includes offices, training facilities, warehouse space, and a 140,000 square foot hangar. This allows for the nearly 400 Houston based Technical Operations Employees to work simultaneously on up to six 737 aircraft indoors and has space for an additional eight aircraft outside the hangar bays.
