CSAT has gained competitive advantage as they can now service the narrow-body A320neo and B737 MAX at Prague Airport
21 June 2021: Czech Airlines Technics (CSAT) has expanded their base maintenance to airlines and leasing companies operating Airbus A320neo in Prague. They recently completed the first two overhauls at Vaclav Havel Airport in Prague. CSAT recently received its new authorization from the Civil Aviation Authority of the Czech Republic. They also introduced Boeing 737 MAX base maintenance services at the start of this year.
Pavel Hales, Chairman of the Czech Airlines Technics Board of Directors said, “This year, we have managed to expand the portfolio of base maintenance services with the two models of the latest generation narrow-body aircraft manufactured by both Boeing and Airbus. We have gained another competitive advantage on the market thanks to the fact that we can now service these modern aircraft in our hangar at Prague Airport. In relation to the required operating limitations within which aircraft must undergo regular overhauls, the certification process was conveniently timed. All the operators of these aircraft can now use our complex services. In addition, we can also combine this type of regular checks with the aircraft storage in Prague, which is still of greater interest.“
Thomas Krook, Director Technical Operations of Novair said, “The customer experience from planning to work completion, documentation and re-delivery was very good. We were very happy with the product and services in Prague and Novair will likely be a returning customer at CSAT.”
Regular mandatory checks, more demanding repairs, modifications to aircraft systems and structures, cabin modifications, engine exchanges and exchanges and repairs of landing gear and other aircraft components are a part of aircraft base maintenance services provided.
Last year, despite the COVID-19 pandemics, Czech Airlines Technics managed to successfully complete over 70 base maintenance overhauls. Finnair, Transavia Airlines, Smartwings and NEOS are among the most important Czech Airlines Technics clients in the base maintenance division.
