(Hebron, Ky.) - A major aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul company has opened a new hangar in northern Kentucky.  

Miami-based FEAM Aero opened its new facility at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport on Wednesday.  

The company has operated at CVG since 2015 and currently employees more than 200 technicians servicing DHL, Amazon and passenger aircraft.

"Not only will this facility help us to expand our services and provide high-quality aircraft services to our clients, but this investment represents our commitment to create more jobs and build opportunities."

We are grateful for the strong partnership and look forward to sustaining this success.”
