Aerostar MRO Goes from Strength to Strength

During 2018 Aerostar recorded its highest ever throughput of Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 families aircraft heavy checks with 104 aircraft passing through its Bacau facility for ‘C’ and ‘D’ checks (79 Boeing 737 family and 25 A320 family). These aircraft were from 22 different customers, of which seven were new customers. Included among the new customers was Air France which booked four A320 family aircraft in for heavy checks.

To meet increased demand construction is now well underway on a new 4-bay MRO hangar at Iasi International Airport in northeast Romania and is expected to be completed at the end of 2019. This new hangar will increase Aerostar’s throughput of Airbus A320ceo and neo families and Boeing 737 Classic and New Generation overhauls by up to 40 per cent.
