Kingman Airline Services is a Federal Aviation Authority-approved Part 145 repair station, in addition to a large aircraft storage and preservation facility, offering various levels of maintenance for Embraer, Bombadier CRJ, SAAB and Boeing aircraft. The company will hire airframe and powerplant technicians; operators and craftsman; along with managerial, professional and service positions.

The 180 jobs that will be created by this $2.5 million will make a real difference in Horry County, and we look forward to watching this great company grow and thrive here for a long time,” said Governor Nikki Haley.
“It is a great pleasure to welcome Kingman Airline Services to Horry County. Their business model fits the Myrtle Beach community very well, and they will provide high-quality jobs to almost 200 skilled workers in our community.
