KF Aerospace’s Center for Excellence has passed all final pre-flight checks and is ready for take-off.
On Tuesday, the city council unanimously approved the issuance of a building permit for the three-story building on Lapointe Drive, adjacent to Kelowna International Airport.
Once completed, the airplane-shaped building will feature what has been described as a “simple building, flanked by two hangars”.
These hangars will contain a mix of restored aircraft that have significance both for the history of KF Aerospace and for the aviation industry in general.
The center will be part museum and part exhibition, underlining the company’s importance in the community, Jim Meiklejohn said in a brief presentation to the board.
The company hopes that the center, when completed, will be a destination point for people using the nearby Okanagan Rail Trail and for school trips.
There is no indication when construction will begin or when it is expected to be completed.
