Performance Aviation currently employs more than 25 local engineering staff at its Shellharbour workshop and operates additional facilities in Mareeba, Queensland and Wanaka, New Zealand.
The new hangar will also support the Australia Jump Pilot Academy, a locally established flight training organisation, which was recently recognised as CASA’s Flight Training Business of the Year, by providing enhanced training facilities and turboprop endorsements.
