GEORGETOWN — Senator Coons visited with leadership and workers at PATS Aircraft Systems in Georgetown last week. The Sussex company performs aircraft maintenance, modification and interior completion services.
Customers include heads of state, business leaders, and VIPs from around the globe. PATS also provides auxiliary fuel systems and other integrated systems and components to several major aircraft companies and hundreds of individual customers. PATS has about 350 highly skilled employees who keep the company running.
“I’m impressed by the diversity of PATS’ skilled workforce. From manufacturing related jobs to those employees whose skills include machining, upholstering, woodworking and a deep knowledge of advanced avionics—everyone plays a key role in making PATS a viable business in Sussex County,” said Chris.
PATS’ facility has a very large footprint at the Georgetown airport that includes a 35,000 square foot manufacturing facility, four hangars that can house up to seven B737-sized aircrafts with a full back shop capability of over 42,000 square feet.
