Hawker Beechcraft To Sell Surplus Salina Assets

Hawker Beechcraft is selling off surplus assets from its Salina division, which the airplane maker is closing.

The Wichita-based company announced in 2009 that it would close the Salina operation. The company, 1 of the nation’s leading business jet manufacturers, said it was moving the jobs to Wichita, where Hawker Beechcraft is headquartered.

The company’s lease of 484,000 square feet in Salina expires February 2012. Employees at the Salina facility build wings and other parts.

The Salina Journal reports that the asset sale is planned for Dec. 20 and will include machine tools, pickup trucks.
