Shannon Aerospace completes D Checks for two Croatia Airlines A319 aicraft

Shannon Aerospace recently completed a series of D Checks on two Croatia Airlines A319 aircraft. Both aircraft were delivered to the customer in 24 days, well ahead of the contracted groundtimes on both projects. The departure on Friday February 6th of aircraft 9A-CTG marked a particular achievement for the Shannon-based MRO provider as it was the first such turnaround for the company. Capitalising upon a range of Lean tools implemented at SAL to date, the D1-Check plus Sampling was completed in just 17 days. On March 6th, aircraft 9A-CTH was delivered within an identical timeframe. Both projects included a seven day paint event, bringing the total number of days required to 24.
