ANTAVIA have designed the new shop to replicate their modern unit near Toulouse.
27 October 2021: ANTAVIA recently opened a 2500 sq.m new facility at Paris CDG. This premises has been seamlessly brought on-stream as the ANTAVIA team of engineers transitioned from the smaller repair shop nearby, and all workspaces have been redesigned following LEAN/5S principles.
Ismaël Fadili, Sales & Marketing Director, ANTAVIA said, “Proximity to CDG is a huge benefit for aircraft operators/owners. The move has enabled ANTAVIA to integrate new equipment and further enhance our very short overhaul and tyre change TATs. Being part of the AMETEK MRO group means we can invest with confidence, and this not only benefits our European customers, but underpins the expanding support programmes that we deliver for the European operations of US/Canadian airframers.”
ANTAVIA have designed the new shop to replicate their modern unit near Toulouse and the launch is a fitting accolade for the dedicated workforce as the organisation celebrates its 40,000th wheel and brake repair milestone.
Alan Harding, Divisional Vice President MRO Europe & Asia for AMETEK MRO said, “It is our policy to duplicate skills and expertise in our areas of niche expertise. We have developed a huge depth of experience in the wheels & brakes arena that ANTAVIA will replicate in Asia as we expand our footprint and increase our services in 2022. The atmosphere of positivity and collaboration that was felt by everyone participating in the event highlighted how important it is to work together to find new solutions from an efficiency, sustainability, and environmental perspective. Clearly there is a determination from airlines, operators, OEMs and MROs to build upon each other’s strengths as we begin to responsibly manage the impact of COVID-19 on the global aviation sector.” CAAC certified, and ideally located between the main commercial and bizjet hubs of Paris CDG and Paris LBG, ANTAVIA’S larger facility also holds its significant inventory of spare parts, including tyres valued at over USD1m.
