Direct Maintenance, operating under the brand name Magnetic Line, has signed a line maintenance agreement with American Airlines to support its Boeing 777 and 787 operations at Dublin Airport (DUB).
The agreement covers full technical handling services, including ETOPS support. American Airlines operates approximately one to two daily flights to Dublin during the winter season, increasing to up to five per day in summer.
“As the largest independent Part-145 maintenance provider in Dublin, American Airlines represents a strategic addition to our client portfolio,” said James Dyer, Station Manager at Direct Maintenance Dublin. “Supporting up to five daily wide-body operations during peak season requires significant technical capability and operational flexibility.”
To support the contract, the Dublin station will relocate to a larger facility at the airport, with expanded storage and office space. The local engineering team will also be increased to meet operational requirements.
“American Airlines operates one of the most demanding schedules in the industry, and we’re proud to have been entrusted to perform line maintenance that directly impacts their operational performance,” stated Getter Kägu, Commercial Representative at Direct Maintenance. “This agreement validates our technical capabilities and represents a significant milestone in our growth.”
