Airbus selects Sabena technics for painting services

Sabena technics has been selected by Airbus as a long-term subcontractor for A320 Family external painting. Following an increased rate of production of the A320 Family, Airbus needs to increase its capacity to paint single-aisle aircraft.  The aircraft will be painted at Sabena technics painting’s Dinard facility at a rate of approximately twenty aircraft per year. The qualification of a second Sabena technics painting facility in Bordeaux, France, by Airbus is under way, in order to offer more capacity and flexibility for painting the brand new A320 Family aircraft.
