SriLankan Engineering reputed MRO in Asian Region
Completes two more projects for Pakistan's Airblue:
SriLankan Engineering recently carried out two major projects on two
Airbus aircraft of Airblue, further strengthening its close relationship
with the Pakistani airline.
A major maintenance check, known as a "C-Check", was carried out in
July on one of Airblue's Airbus A321's, with the project being completed
in fifteen days at the main hangar complex at Colombo's Bandaranaike
International Airport (BIA).
Prior to that, SriLankan Engineering carried out a landing gear
change on an A320 aircraft of Airblue within three days. The aircraft
maintenance arm of Sri Lanka's National Carrier, SriLankan Engineering
is positioning itself as a Maintenance Repair Organization (MRO) for
airlines in the Asian region. SriLankan Engineering possesses the
prestigious industry standard EASA 145 from the European Aviation Safety
Agency, in recognition of its commitment to the highest standards of
professionalism in aircraft maintenance, as well as recognition by
several aviation authorities in Asia.
SriLankan's Head of Engineering, D.A.G. Jayasuriya said: "SriLankan
Engineering now has an excellent reputation among the airlines in the
region. Through our superior service, we cultivate long-term
relationships with our customers, and we are presently in discussions
with yet another airline, this time from Southeast Asia, to carry out
their maintenance work."
SriLankan Engineering is presently in the midst of carrying out
C-checks on thirteen Airbus A320 aircraft this year of India's largest
domestic low-fare carrier IndiGo, and has already completed three of
them. SriLankan Engineering has carried out many projects in the past
for Airblue, including reconfiguring of passenger cabins on two Airbus
A321 aircraft, and several maintenance checks.
SriLankan Engineering has notched up many impressive feats in recent
times. These include two global awards from Airbus Industrie for
Operational Excellence among all small airlines that operate A330 and
A340 aircraft.
SriLankan Engineering has a wealth of experience with Airbus
aircraft, since the National Carrier itself possesses an all-Airbus
fleet of A320, A330, and A340 aircraft. Over the past year SriLankan
Engineering has carried out certifications on aircraft of many airlines
at BIA including Air Arabia, Kuwait Airways, Kingfisher, Qatar Airways,
First Choice, etc. SriLankan's Technical Training School at BIA is also
fast-gaining a reputation as a regional training ground for aircraft
technicians and engineers. It too possesses EASA 147 accreditation from
the European Aviation Safety Agency.
