Greenville Kearns Aerospace Maintenance
 

Greenville Kearns Aerospace Maintenance, Inc. is a small, veteran-owned business. Formerly Kearns Aerospace Maintenance, it was founded in Alabama in 2014, and relocated and incorporated in Mississippi in 2020. GKAM performs Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul, Avionics/Structure Modifications, Manufacturing, Kitting for military and civilian airframes.

GKAM’s most attractive solution is capacity. Many MRO facilities experience a bottleneck because they lack the facilities to be able to house more than a few aircraft at a time. With over 300,000 square ft. of hangar space, GKAM has the capacity to work on as many as eight (8) C-130’s under roof simultaneously. We also have over 1.5 million square ft. of ramp space, allowing for even more aircraft work to take place on the open ramp.
