Starting with 4 employees in 2000, Flightstar could end up adding as many as 300 to its current workforce of 915 by 2015.

Flightstar Aircraft Services LLC — the heavy maintenance and repair company for transport-category aircraft — has transformed itself from a mom-and-pop shop when it opened in 2000 to a rapidly growing industry giant.
