It is also a story of national pride as the largest steel structure ever manufactured and built-in Malta. We want only the highest standards for this country and that is what you have created here.”
Jean-Marc Lenz, Chief Executive Officer at SR Technics, shared the update about the recent achievements and plans for the facility. “I am glad we celebrated this opening together. The new hangar will accommodate both narrow and wide-body aircraft at Malta International Airport. This 40,000sqm facility includes workshop space, increased capacity for heavy maintenance, C-checks, and cabin modifications to up to six narrow-body aircraft at a time. By choosing our maintenance services in Malta, you are assured not only the highest levels of safety and reliability but also short turnaround times and cost-efficient service delivery.“
