On October 14, 2025, Willis Lease Finance Corporation (WLFC) announced the opening of its second and third narrow‑body hangars at Teesside International Airport in Northeastern England. The ribbon‑cutting ceremony marked the completion of the new facilities, which were broken ground on in April 2025.
The hangars are fully equipped to service Boeing 737 and Airbus A320‑family aircraft, including next‑generation models. This expansion enhances WLFC’s MRO capabilities and positions the company to meet growing demand for narrow‑body maintenance services in the UK market.
The Teesside operation is expected to create a significant number of highly‑skilled jobs and is part of WLFC’s broader commitment to the region. The company noted that success will depend on support from government, local authorities, labor, and airline/MRO participants, underscoring the strategic importance of the new facilities for WLFC’s future growth.
