22 May 2019: Airbus has selected Antavia to provide wheels and brakes maintenance for the Airbus Beluga XL. In 1992, Antavia started providing maintenance services for Airbus oversize transport aircraft, the Super Guppy. The company continued to extend its support to Airbus after BelugaST entered into service. They even offer a tailor-made MRO and logistics solutions services to Airbus for the Beluga XL fleet.
Antavia has more than 30 years of experience in wheels and brakes repair as well as overhaul. In the past five years, over 17,000 wheels and 2,500 brakes have been released from the company's dedicated workshops.
"We are very proud to be contributing to the wheels and brakes maintenance of both the Beluga ST and XL aircraft, two of the most voluminous cargo holds of any civil or military aircraft flying today," said Laurent Bouissou, Managing Director of Antavia. "It is a business that places the utmost importance on regularity of services and on-time performance, which are values we share."
