Demand could spike quickly when COVID-19 restrictions ease, with many Asia-Pacific airlines needing MRO providers to help reactivate and perform checks on aircraft that have been in storage for several months.
Owing to poor demand, Singapore Airlines Engineering Company (SIAEC) has divested all of its 39.2% stake in Asian Surface Technologies (AST), a company that repairs and overhauls Pratt & Whitney PW4000 series engine fan blades.
In advance of Finnair VP Sustainability Anne Larilahti’s keynote address to MRO Europe on Oct. 20 in Amsterdam, Aviation Week Executive Editor Lee Ann Shay talks with her about key initiatives and getting to net-zero carbon emissions.
Emirates Group Security has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), which will see both organisations work closely on capacity building for the industry by providing ICAO-recognised Diploma programmes provided by EGS and Edith Cowan University (ECU).
Major aircraft lessor Avolon said it signed an agreement with Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), which is endeavoring to grow as an independent freighter conversion company, to be IAI’s launch customer for their Airbus A330-300 freighter conversion program.
