Russia's S7 Technics aircraft maintenance service provider and Kazakhstan's national carrier Air Astana continue to expand its partnership in terms of MRO of the airline's fleet.
In November 2019 Air Astana, supported by S7 Technics' team, completed its first in-house base maintenance check – 1C-Check on an Airbus A320neo. The check was performed at the airline's hangar facility at Almaty Airport under Air Astana's own EASA Part 145 certificate.
To provide support to its key customer, S7 Technics commissioned a team of six professionals to Almaty – project manager, deputy production manager, head of the department and three engineers.
In advance of its first base check Air Astana prepared its facilities and lined up the trained staff, as well as securing all appropriate approvals from aviation authorities.
