STS Aviation Group purchases former MAEL hangar in Birmingham, England

Two weeks after acquiring Apple Aviation,  STS Aviation Group (STS), an aviation solutions company, has finalized the purchase of a wide-body aircraft maintenance facility in Birmingham, England.

The facility was formerly operated by Monarch Aircraft Engineering (MAEL) and put up for sale in March of 2019. It features 200,000 ft² of total space — including ramp — and has the capacity to service wide-body aircraft. In fact, the facility can house two wide-body aircraft or 10 narrow-body aircraft at the same time. In addition to its size, the complex is home to several on-site component repair and back shops; making it a true nose-to-tail MRO service facility flush with vertical lift storage devices, a global reporting room and dozens of laptop mobility hubs.
