Caerdav has entered into a general terms agreement with AerCap to provide a range of maintenance services across AerCap’s aircraft portfolio. The partnership highlights Caerdav’s flexible approach and in-house engineering capabilities, which were key factors in securing the deal.
The work will primarily focus on Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 aircraft, where Caerdav will carry out end-of-lease and transition checks, entry-into-service tasks and redelivery maintenance. The St Athan-based MRO will leverage its skilled engineering teams and ability to quickly adapt to changing project requirements to deliver customised support for AerCap’s fleet.
The agreement reflects Caerdav’s significant investment in back-shop capabilities, enabling it to provide a wide range of additional services, including non-destructive testing, paint repairs, restoration and heat treatments. This expanded capability allows the company to operate as a comprehensive one-stop shop, streamlining the maintenance process for leasing customers.
With a robust growth strategy underway and increasing capacity, Caerdav aims to expand its support for the leasing sector further in the future. AerCap, a global leader in aircraft, engine and helicopter leasing, will benefit from Caerdav’s expertise and its strategically located St Athan facility. Situated within the Cardiff Airport Aerospace Enterprise Zone, Caerdav operates from a former RAF maintenance base featuring a 6,000ft ILS runway and parking for up to 20 narrow-bodied airliners, reinforcing its specialisation in Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 maintenance.
