Garmin has acquired a new hangar and office complex at Mesa Gateway Airport to support its growing aviation business. The facility will expand capacity for aircraft certification and flight test operations.
The site includes two adjacent hangars totaling about 75,000 square feet along with office space for around 75 employees. Mesa Gateway Airport features three parallel runways, including two that are over 10,000 feet long. The region’s generally clear weather conditions provide a suitable environment for flight operations and testing.
This location joins Garmin’s existing flight operations centers in New Century Kansas and Salem Oregon. The Phoenix area has served as a long-standing engineering hub for Garmin, with facilities in Tempe, Chandler and Scottsdale following the acquisition of AeroData in 2019.
The new Mesa facility will support engineering teams focused on airworthiness approvals and flight testing, strengthening Garmin’s infrastructure as it continues to expand its aviation segment.
