French MRO firm Sabena Technics joins Airbus Corporate Jets service network
Sabena Technics’ maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facilities in Bordeaux, France, are joining the ACJ (Airbus Corporate Jets) Service Centre network.
The expanded network comprises companies that are owned or controlled by Airbus, as well as independent ones that it has approved. Its capabilities include line and heavy maintenance, cabin refurbishing, and cabin and system upgrades.
The ACJ Service Centre network now comprises Comlux America in Indianapolis, HAECO Private Jet Solutions in Xiamen, Jet Aviation in Basel and Dubai, Sabena Technics in Bordeaux, Sepang Aircraft Engineering in Kuala Lumpur and ST Aerospace in Singapore.
Companies in the network are able to provide turnkey services. They complement Airbus’ leadership in turnkey cabin-outfitting of large business jets, where it is uniquely well qualified with some 70 completions to its credit, the company says.
“Airbus corporate-jet customers and operators have access to a skilled and growing network to which they can entrust their aircraft for upgrades, services and maintenance, helping to ensure value retention as well as reliability and availability,” said Benoit Defforge, managing director of Airbus Corporate Jets.
