23 January 2020: Sabena technics has opened its brand new hangar based in Bordeaux (France).
Sabena technics will be investing 25 million euros in a 10,000 m2 facility which will provide more capacity to its civil and military customers.
"The rapid evolution of the markets in which we operate require constant adaptation of our capabilities and know-how. Aware of these developments, we decided to invest in order to offer our European customers more availability with this new hangar capable of accommodating, as part of maintenance or modifications, a large aircraft type such as A350-1000/B777-9X or up to six A320 aircraft simultaneously," said Philippe Rochet, CEO of Sabena technics.
Sabena technics is also strengthening its recruitment strategy in order to welcome over 250 new talents each year to support its growth.
"We have a common challenge for the entire aeronautical industry: to develop our human resources so as to be able to meet the needs of our customers. This is why we rely on a dynamic apprenticeship policy and count on our privileged partnerships with schools and specialized training organisations," said Philippe Rochet.
"We are now proudly able to carry out a complete paperless aircraft maintenance check with all the mechanics connected through a digital interface with the customer. We believe that it is through the integration of all maintenance players on a global digital device, that the performance of our services is constantly improving," said Francois Dore, SVP Innovation & Strategy.
