Airbus Group's North American military aircraft unit expands repair facility at Mobile (Ala.) Regional Airport

The North American operations of Airbus Group’s military aircraft unit opened a new 7,500-ft² component repair facility located at the Mobile (Ala.) Regional Airport. The expansion of the new component repair facility is yet another industrial resource to improve customer service for the company’s medium and light multi-mission aircraft operators. The new services include hydraulic, avionics, composite and structural repairs, painting, component exchange and highly skilled engineering support. The company’s Mobile operation was expanded in October 2009 to become Airbus Group’s military aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul delivery center in the U.S. This 30,000-ft², 45-person facility provides American operators of the C212 and CN235 tactical transports with the capabilities of a certified FAA and European Aviation Safety Agency repair station as well as direct support from the aircraft manufacturer.
