The facility goes above and beyond, incorporating heated door tracks and a snow melt system in the apron, ensuring functionality even in the harshest weather conditions. Air destratification fans contribute to a comfortable environment, maintaining optimal conditions for both aircraft and personnel. Safety takes precedence with a water fire suppression system in place, providing peace of mind and safeguarding against unforeseen circumstances.
