The development marks the maiden expansion of Air Works’ International Line Maintenance business to foreign shores.
Air Works entered into a long-term services agreement with UAE-based Mach Technik Aircraft Maintenance to provide International Line Maintenance services at the Dubai International Airport. The development marks the maiden expansion of Air Works’ International Line Maintenance business to foreign shores. With a pan-India presence across 19 international airports, Air Works Group is already the biggest provider of Transit or Line Maintenance services to foreign carriers [airlines and cargo] operating in India.
Mr. D Anand Bhaskar, Managing Director & CEO, Air Works Group said, “From certifying our maiden flight in 2011 at Trichy – our first Line Maintenance station – to certifying nearly 3000 flights a month, we have come a long way. Our engagement with Mach Technik, Dubai represents a significant strategic development, as it is a testament to Air Works’ decade-long investment in developing an enviable Line Maintenance service portfolio comprising expert resources, relevant certifications, and technologies. To be able to offer our services at leading international airports such as Dubai, is a matter of immense pride, given that it is one of the world’s finest and busiest airports attracting the best of carriers. Dubai will therefore be ideal to test our capabilities and readiness and I am confident that together with the team at Mach Technik, Air Works will improve prevailing service benchmarks, delivering enhanced value to customers.”
Mr. Mohammed Al-Humaidi, Chairman, Mach Technik Aircraft Maintenance said, “Our collaboration with Air Works – India’s leading and most loved MRO and one of the region’s finest aviation services groups – will help us offer global standards of service to discerning clients – both Indian and global. With burgeoning air traffic, Dubai and other leading regional airports represent a cradle of opportunities, and beginning with Line Maintenance, we intend to leverage our mutual synergies not just within the UAE but the entire Middle East region and beyond it.”
As part of the agreement, Air Works will extend its Quality System to induct Mach Technik’s certifying staff within its Quality Assurance (QA) System.
As international travel resumes, the agreement will enable Air Works’ Middle Eastern team to serve a significant portion of its clients in Dubai, together with the opportunity of using their experience to acquire new regions as well as international customers.
