FL Technics, a global provider of tailor-made aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul services, is delighted to announce it has successfully completed the necessary theoretical and practical training for execution of Airbus A330 maintenance. Having already purchased all the necessary equipment, the company is expecting to complete the certification by the end of 2015.

“FL Technics estimates there are almost 150 Airbus A330 aircraft operated in Europe alone. Therefore, as maintenance of wide-body aircraft is not as seasonal as that of the narrow-bodies, the latest expansion of capabilities will allow the company to keep it’s current and upcoming facilities full all year round,” shares Zilvinas Lapinskas, the CEO of FL Technics. “We are confident that, in addition to the well-established narrow-body capabilities, the expanded list of our services will make us more visible, attractive and accessible not only to our clients in Europe and the CIS, but also customers in such rapidly developing markets as Asia.”

Recently FL Technics has won a tender for the rent of 9 000 sq. m. aircraft maintenance hangar at Indonesia’s Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, as well as successfully completed a nearly EUR 6 million worth equipment upgrade at it's MRO centre in Kaunas, Lithuania. As a result, the company plans to further increase the number of performed heavy maintenance works within the next couple of years. Currently, the FL Technics base maintenance capabilities already cover such popular narrow-body aircraft as Airbus A319/A320/A321, Boeing 737 CL and Boeing 737 NG.
