MRO Middle East 2019 Recap

Etihad Airways Engineering has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Tarmac Aerosave to jointly pursue opportunities to develop, explore, support and extend Part 145 maintenance services and products.

As part of the collaboration, both companies completed their first Airbus A350 C-check in January for an unnamed Latin American airline at Tarmac Aerosave’s facility in Tarbes, France. A team from Etihad Airways Engineering flew out to provide support and complete hands-on Part 147 A350 training as the company prepares to begin carrying out A350 maintenance checks in Abu Dhabi starting in March 2019.  

Satair has signed an agreement with Joramco covering the supply of consumables and expendables to support Boeing and Airbus aircraft. According to Joramco CEO Jeff Wilkinson, Satair will support the MRO with strengthening its sourcing and procurement activities.

Satair has also signed an agreement with Honeywell Aerospace to distribute its JetWave high-speed inflight connectivity system to a wide segment of the global business jet market. Satair says it has invested in a large pool of full ship sets of JetWave stock and will hold an inventory of all Honeywell JetWave components, so it will be able to offer immediate delivery.

Finally, Satair signed a MoU with Etihad Airways Engineering covering supply chain solutions to ensure worldwide arts availability for selected aircraft parts.
