Digital twins and predictive maintenance are transforming aircraft MRO, but a global shortage of skilled aviation technicians could limit their impact. Aerviva’s Jekaterina Shalopanova explores how airlines can harness this tech revolution while closing the growing skills gap.
ExecuJet MRO Services South Africa, a subsidiary of Dassault Aviation, has completed a 2C heavy maintenance check on a Falcon 900EX, including wing modifications, cabin refurbishment, and landing gear overhaul. The Johannesburg-based facility remains a preferred Falcon service centre for African operators.
ExecuJet MRO Services South Africa has successfully completed its first engine accessory gearbox (AGB) replacement on a Bombardier Challenger 604, reducing aircraft downtime with on-wing maintenance.
ExecuJet MRO Services Malaysia has received CAAC approval to perform line and base maintenance on China-registered Falcon 7X and Falcon 2000EX EASy aircraft, marking a significant milestone in its expansion within the Asian business aviation market.
StandardAero signed a 15-year agreement with a major Middle Eastern airline to provide MRO services for CFM International LEAP engines. Its San Antonio facility supports LEAP-1A and LEAP-1B engines with performance restoration, component repairs, and lease engine support, serving airlines across the globe.
