MAAS Aviation, a globally recognised aircraft painting and exterior coating specialist, has extended its long-term agreement with Airbus for another five years. The renewed contract covers the painting of A320 and A220 aircraft at MAAS Aviation’s advanced facility in Mobile, Alabama.
The site expanded in 2024 to include five dedicated paint bays. It now has the capacity to paint up to 200 aircraft each year. The facility plays a key role in supporting Airbus’ single-aisle production programme in North America.
Geoff Myrick, Executive Vice President of OEM Programmes at MAAS Aviation, said the company is proud to continue working with Airbus. “Our collaboration reflects a shared commitment to quality and operational excellence,” he stated. “We are honoured to remain a trusted supplier within Airbus’ global network.”
MAAS Aviation opened its first paint shop in Mobile in 2015 with just 20 employees. Two additional paint shops followed in 2017, and two more opened in 2025. The partnership has created steady employment growth at the site, which paints exclusively for Airbus. Today, nearly 100 people work at the facility, and that number is expected to exceed 150 within three years.
This renewed agreement reinforces MAAS Aviation’s position as a trusted partner to Airbus. It also underlines the company’s continued role in supporting the aircraft manufacturer’s global production growth.
