SAN LUIS TALPA, El Salvador — President Nayib Bukele joined Alejandro Echeverría, CEO of AEROMAN, and other officials on April 16, 2026, for the inauguration of Hangar 7, an expansion that company leaders said establishes AEROMAN as the world’s largest aircraft maintenance center in a single location.
The ceremony marked the completion of a project that expanded AEROMAN’s maintenance capacity and reinforced El Salvador’s position in the global aviation maintenance industry. According to speakers at the event, the project was completed in approximately 15 months and delivered on time and within budget.
Echeverría thanked President Bukele for his support and highlighted the significance of the project for the country and the aviation sector.
Addressing attendees, Echeverría said, “I offer you the largest hangar in the entire American continent, the largest maintenance base in a single location, probably the largest in the world, for the well-being and benefit of the Salvadoran people.”
President Bukele said the expansion represents a major milestone for El Salvador’s aviation industry.
“AEROMAN becomes the largest aircraft maintenance center in the world,” Bukele said. “That fills us with even more pride because it is here in El Salvador.”
Bukele said the aviation sector generates quality jobs, economic development, tourism, and mobility. He described the project as evidence of El Salvador’s efforts to attract investment and support private enterprise.
“This is an example of a country that is pro-investment, a country that is pro-business, a country where investments are secure, where there is legal certainty and physical security,” Bukele said.
The president also pointed to what he described as political stability and consistent economic policies, saying investors can operate with confidence in the country’s business environment.
Bukele invited both national and international companies to invest in El Salvador and emphasized the importance of continued growth in strategic industries.
“The important thing is that we continue advancing step by step, expanding opportunities, consolidating sectors such as aviation, and turning El Salvador into a global leader,” Bukele said.
The Hangar 7 expansion increases AEROMAN’s maintenance operations and strengthens the company’s role in the international aviation maintenance market. Officials said the project will contribute to job creation, economic activity, and the continued development of El Salvador’s aerospace industry. Source TikTok
