Sabena technics and Compagnie Africaine d’Aviation extend maintenance collaboration

Sabena technics has extended its collaboration with Compagnie Africaine d’Aviation (CAA), the main carrier of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). A year and a half ago, CAA selected Sabena technics as its exclusive maintenance partner for its Airbus A320 fleet and now extended this partnership to support newly acquired Fokker 100 aircraft. Based in Kinshasa, CAA is the first airline in Central Africa to operate Airbus A320 aircraft. To support the growth of the domestic market in DRC, the company operates a fleet of three A320 and will integrate two Fokker 100 aircraft in autumn. Sabena technics’ services to CAA include pool access with advanced standard exchange, component repair management per flying hour, APU support and continuing airworthiness management. The services have also been extended to A320 brakes support from Sabena technics’ Brussels facility.
