The partnership will provide the carrier with global access to the Moog’s component pool
Etihad Aviation Group has announced strategic 15-year collaboration with aviation component manufacturer Moog at the recently concluded Bahrain International Airshow.
The partnership will provide Etihad Airways with global access to the Moog’s component pool as well as complete repair support from the manufacturer on a range of part numbers fitted to the airline’s fleet.
Moog will support Etihad Airways Engineering, the largest commercial MRO service provider in the Middle East. The support will expand the company’s component capability onsite to become a centre of excellence for component repair and overhaul. This strategic move is the first step in the company’s ambition to grow in-house component capabilities.
“In a rapidly expanding market, this strategic partnership offers total support on components installed on the Etihad Airways fleet, as well as developing Etihad Airways Engineering as a centre of excellence,” commented Tony Douglas, CEO, Etihad Aviation Group.
“We are pleased to have signed a long-term partnership agreement with Etihad Airways and Etihad Airways Engineering and we look forward to building a long-lasting relationship with both organisations,” said Mark Brooks, General Manager, Commercial Global Support, Moog.
