Aviation company to add jobs in Macon

MACON - An aviation company is expanding in Macon.

Gov. Sonny Perdue says TIMCO Aviation Services, which has a Macon facility at the Middle Georgia Regional Airport, will add about 130 jobs by the middle of next year.

TIMCO General Manager Keith Statzer says the Macon facility is expanding to handle Boeing 767 airliners.

The announcement was made Thursday morning between a pair of Boeing 757s undergoing maintenance.
