Dulles, Va., September 28, 2021—AFCO (under AFCO MRO CVG, LLC) recently closed on the purchase of a 106,000-SF Maintenance Repair and Overhaul Facility (MRO) at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG). The new building, completed in 2020, is a single-tenant asset occupied by FEAM, the US MRO leader in aircraft line maintenance engineering. The facility is AFCO’s first at CVG.
CVG is the North American hub for Amazon and DHL; FEAM provides aircraft maintenance services to the companies that supply aircraft to the e-shipping and shipping giants. The facility purchase anchors AFCO’s initial footprint at the airport and expands AFCO’s portfolio of facilities that support the air cargo and e-commerce industry.
“We are excited to successfully close on the acquisition of the FEAM wide body aircraft maintenance hangar at CVG and add this strategic asset to our expanding portfolio of airport infrastructure in the US,” said Chuck Stipancic, President & CEO of AFCO. “CVG is quickly becoming an integral part of the global air cargo logistics chain and this facility will continue to support required aircraft maintenance for operators at CVG as they continue to increase activity at the airport. We also appreciate the support and cooperation of the CVG Airport, the seller, and FEAM in allowing for a smooth transition of ownership.”

2022 Charlotte Douglas International Airport Report of Achievement
Giving back to the community is central to what Charlotte Douglas International Airport and its operator, the City of Charlotte Aviation Department, is about, and last year was no different.
Throughout 2022, while recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, we continued our efforts to have a positive impact on the Charlotte community. Of particular note, we spent the year sharing stories of how Connections Don't Just Happen at the Terminal - from creating homeownership and employment opportunities to supporting economic growth through small-business development and offering outreach programs to help residents understand the Airport better.
This whitepaper highlights the construction projects, initiatives, programs and events that validate Charlotte Douglas as a premier airport.
