Avianor, an affiliate of DRAKKAR with more than 25 years of aerospace experience in commercial and military aircraft maintenance and interior solutions, and Air Canada have officially signed a substantial contract that marks a significant advancement in aerospace maintenance. This agreement formalises the longstanding partnership between the two parties since the initial letter of intent was signed in January 2020, ensuring Air Canada’s fleet of Airbus A220 aircraft receives top-tier Quebec-based maintenance.
The newly signed, long-term agreement builds upon a solid foundation of trust and collaboration between Avianor and Air Canada. Both parties have been actively engaged in the maintenance of the A220 since it entered Air Canada’s fleet.
Additionally, the construction of Avianor’s A220 centre of excellence, located in Mirabel, Quebec, is projected to be completed by autumn 2024. This facility, a pivotal element to the maintenance agreement, will be instrumental in maintaining the growing needs of Air Canada’s expanding fleet, ensuring the highest standards of service and support.
“This contract reflects the hard work and dedication of our teams who have worked hand-in-hand with Air Canada since our initial agreement in 2020. With the impending completion of the A220 centre of excellence, we are sure to further strengthen our long-term partnership in a facility specifically tailored for these aircraft,” declares Hugo Brouillard, Chief Operating Officer and President of Affiliates of DRAKKAR, including Aviano.
