Magnetic MRO, a leading member of the Magnetic Group, has achieved a significant milestone in the aviation industry by successfully completing its 800th C-check on a Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS) Airbus A319 aircraft. This accomplishment marks a remarkable achievement for Magnetic MRO, achieved within just 1.5 years since completing its 700th C-check.

The celebrated aircraft, an SAS A319-132, holds a special significance as it features a unique retro livery and is named Christian Valdemar Viking, paying tribute to a Danish prince and the inspiring Viking heritage of the Scandinavians. The successful completion of the C-check underscores Magnetic MRO’s commitment to excellence in aircraft maintenance and reinforces its position as a reliable and trusted partner in the aviation industry.

The extensive six-year C-check process on the SAS A319 aircraft posed various challenges that required careful handling and expertise. During the inspection, the maintenance team encountered significant findings that necessitated parts replacements and the acquisition of specialized tools from different parts of the world. Effective communication with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) played a crucial role in obtaining approvals for repairs, ensuring that the aircraft met all necessary safety and operational standards.

Sergei Shkolnik, the Base Maintenance Director at Magnetic MRO said, “It has been a great pleasure and honour to work together with SAS all these years, starting from 2004 when the first C-check on SAS was completed. Twenty-one years from the first check till today’s anniversary have passed in an eye blink. I am sure there are two or more decades ahead of good cooperation between the two companies!”

The successful completion of the 800th C-check is a testament to the company’s expertise and capabilities in handling complex maintenance projects for a wide range of aircraft.
