Operations at Mooney International Corp.’s Kerrville, Texas, manufacturing facility have resumed three weeks after it closed its doors and furloughed its employees on November 12.
The company did not release a statement regarding the closure, but the outgoing message on the general voicemail stated that all employees had been furloughed with no mention of a plan to resume operations. The closure was likely due to declining sales, only four Mooney aircraft were sold in the first half of 2019, and a subsequent lack of income with which to pay employees.
Now that operations have resumed, it is unclear whether the manufacturer’s parent company, Meijing Group, found a new investor for the company or if it will come under new ownership.
