HAITEC Aircraft Maintenance performs first D-Check on Boeing 747-400

HAITEC Aircraft Maintenance recently performed its first D-Check on a Boeing 747-400. „A D-Check is by far the most comprehensive and demanding check for an aircraft. The aircraft is basically taken apart completely, each part is checked thoroughly. Any material fatigue, hair cracks or any other damages are detected and repaired”, explains Frank Rott, CEO at HAITEC. Completing such a check on a Boeing 747-400 generally takes at least five weeks. Depending on technical problems or so-called findings, it can even last up to three months. “Performing such a complex check in minimum time requires highest technical skills and precise planning. Such capabilities are fundamental to positioning HAITEC as a major player within the independent, global MRO market”, says Rott.
