Sabena technics to perform C-130H maintenance checks for French Air Force
11 July, 2018: Sabena technics, an independent MRO provider offering services to civil and military aircraft operators has been selected by the French Ministry of Defense’s Maintenance Service (SIAé), to perform part of the maintenance checks of their fleet of 14 C-130H aircraft.

For four years, Sabena technics will carry out part of the type A and B checks from its Bordeaux site as a subcontractor of the French Air Force’s maintenance facility (AIA) of Clermont-Ferrand. The first aircraft is expected this fall.

The French MRO had already received a contract last year for the training of SIAé’s C-130H B1 and B2 technicians as well as last January for the provision of initial stock, supply of spare parts and consumables as part of the logistical support of the entire fleet (at the Clermont-Ferrand site and Orléans-Bricy Air Force base).
