Caerdav has taken a major step in its growth journey by opening a dedicated fourth line of maintenance – a move that has effectively doubled its operational capacity within just 18 months. The expansion follows an extensive remodelling of its modern Twin Peaks facility in St. Athan, South Wales, allowing the fully independent MRO to work on up to four aircraft simultaneously.
Specialising in Boeing 737 and Airbus A320-family aircraft, Caerdav can now offer a more comprehensive and flexible range of maintenance solutions. The development underscores the company’s ongoing commitment to investing in facilities, workforce, and technical capability to meet rising global demand for aircraft servicing and support.
Chris Coleman, Managing Director at Caerdav, said: “With the global demand for aircraft maintenance continuing to increase, opening a fourth line was the next phase of our detailed growth strategy. We are delighted to be in a position to bring additional jobs and opportunities to South Wales. Having signed agreements with a range of new customers, from airlines to major leasing companies, we are now able to fill our hangars throughout the year – which is the target for every MRO.”
The newly remodelled hangars feature upgraded back shop capabilities and expanded workshop space, giving engineers the tools to deliver a broader portfolio of on-site services. This includes advanced composite repairs, non-destructive testing, and full repair and restoration paint work. The ability to perform most of these tasks in-house at St. Athan has enabled Caerdav to streamline operations, enhance efficiency, and reduce aircraft turnaround times.
