In the past two years the number of ‘C’ and ‘D’ checks carried out by Aerostar for its Middle East, Turkey and North African customers has averaged 26/27 aircraft per year. Last year the market in the region represented some 53 per cent of Aerostar’s commercial MRO business which saw 51 aircraft overhauled at Bacau. 

Aerostar has ten customers across the Middle East, Turkey and North Africa. In recent weeks aircraft from Royal Air Maroc (Boeing 737 NG), Corendon Airlines of Turkey (Boeing 737 NG & CL), Tailwind Airlines of Turkey (Boeing 737 CL) and Freebird Airlines also from Turkey (Airbus A320 and A321) have been in Aerostar’s Bacau facility for maintenance and overhaul. 

Remus Vlad, Aerostar’s Civil MRO business manager, who will be leading the company team at MRO Middle East, said: “We have built up a solid foundation of MRO business from customers in the Middle East, North Africa and Turkey and we have a number of long-standing airline clients such as Royal Air Maroc who have entrusted their aircraft to us since 2010 and Pegasus Airlines of Turkey with whom we have done business for the past seven years.

“As well as winning new business which is our primary goal, we are also now working with our customers to turn the yearly maintenance contracts we currently receive into longer-term agreements.”
