Over 350 aircraft serviced in 2019
Ahead of its participation at the MRO Middle East event at the Dubai World Trade Centre, Etihad Engineering has announced its performance indicators for 2019 revealing that the leading maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) provider has signed off yet another year with a very positive.
It also continues to demonstrate strong potential for sustained growth as it sets into 2020.
Etihad Engineering provides its array of maintenance services to Etihad Airways as well as third party aircraft providers from around the globe. This resilience in operations is supported by the presence of cutting-edge innovation which resulted in the servicing of a total of 356 aircraft in 2019, and more than 1.6 million man-hours deployed.
This reveals the facility’s vast capability to maintain and repair different types of aircraft, including the servicing of 196 Airbus and 160 Boeing aircraft.
“The past year has been truly remarkable for Etihad Engineering as we have expanded many boundaries, from production processes and hangar utilisation, to pioneering industry firsts like the A380 12 year check we completed in less than 100 days,” asserted Frederic Dupont, Vice President Technical Sales, Etihad Engineering.
Dupont and Shevantha Weerasekera, Head of Engineering, participated in the thought leadership sessions driving the recently concluded MRO Middle East Summit.
