An \u00a311m investment will see the construction of a purpose-built 168,000 square-metre facility for AIM Altitude on the Aviation Business Park at Bournemouth Airport.<\/p>\n
The new facility will consolidate AIM Altitude\u2019s numerous Bournemouth-based premises into one building, providing 30% additional capacity for the design, engineering and manufacture of aircraft cabin interiors. This development at Bournemouth has been preceded by substantial investment at AIM Altitude\u2019s Byfleet facility and follows the company\u2019s overall plans for growth, in line with the expansion of the commercial aviation market as a whole.<\/p>\n
The manufacturing space will be established following LEAN principles and, having everyone under one roof will greatly enhance AIM Altitude\u2019s ability to meet customer demands for reduced time-to-market and best value.<\/p>\n
AIM Altitude worked closely with Natural England to ensure that the development was able to proceed. The area was found to be a habitat for 28 Smooth Snakes and 17 Sand Lizards, which have had to be carefully and humanely trapped and released into a new, more suitable and sustainable SSSI area, by a team of licensed specialists, under the guidance of Natural England.
