MRO now accepting Airbus A320 family
aircraft
Airborne Maintenance & Engineering Services (AMES), a
subsidiary of Air Transport Services Group (Nasdaq:ATSG), has been
granted approval by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to
perform heavy and line maintenance services on Airbus A318, A319,
A320, and A321 aircraft.
"Adding Airbus to our Operational Specifications is a natural
progression to our long history in maintaining commercial
aircraft," said AMES President Brady Templeton. "We are pleased to
extend our core competency to the Airbus A320 family."
Over 5,900 aircraft from the A320 family are currently in
operation throughout the world, according to Airbus.
The capability for Airbus complements the broad range of
services in heavy maintenance, line maintenance, engineering,
component repair and overhaul, manufacturing, and material sales
that AMES already provides to Boeing 737, 757, 767, and MD-80
customers.
"In June, AMES added a new 100,000-square-foot hangar to our
existing 250,000-square-foot operation," noted Templeton. "We look
forward to serving both Boeing and Airbus customers with our
expanded facilities."
