Its new base of operations at the Muskoka Airport in Gravenhurst, Ontario, now offering the full suite of aviation engineering and manufacturing services under one roof, is about to receive its finishing touches. “We’ve expanded our hanger space from 4,000 to nearly 15,000 square feet [370 to 1,400 square meters], and our offices will be completely finished by March or April,” reported Ryan Hader, Icarus president. With over 30 years of combined experience in the aviation and aerospace industries, Icarus’ engineering team designs, manufactures, and certifies its specialized solutions with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Transport Canada and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency. Icarus is also meeting the growing demand for specialized parts and repairs. “The lack of specialized aviation engineering and manufacturing capabilities has been a huge problem for the industry, along with keeping within acceptable timelines and costs, so we decided to do something about that.
