Airbus, THAI to develop MRO campus at U-Tapao airport

Airbus and THAI signed a memorandum of understanding March 8 to jointly evaluate developing a new maintenance and overhaul campus at U-Tapao International in Rayong, Thailand. According to Airbus, the new MRO facility will offer line and heavy maintenance services and will utilise digital technology analysis of aircraft maintenance data, in addition to UAV inspection of aircraft airframes. Specialised repair shops, including a repair centre for composite structures, are envisioned for the campus, as well as a maintenance training centre for THAI and other regional technical personnel. “This facility will be a showcase maintenance hub for the region and will offer its services to airlines across the region and beyond,” THAI acting president Usanee Sangsingkeo said. <br/>
