ABS Jets, the Prague based company providing a full range of aircraft services, has received authorization to carry out maintenance of UAE registered aircraft. ABS Jets has been quick to recognize that the UAE is a fast growing market and has therefore completed a series of audits and approvals from the UAE CAA. Consequently ABS Jets has obtained CAR145 approval which enables them to offer and carry out the full range of maintenance services for clients with Embraer aircraft; the Legacy 600, Phenom 100 and Phenom 300. To meet the high standards required by their clients, ABS Jets implemented an intensive series of programs to ensure their services met the very highest standards, including a massive investment in company infrastructure and facilities. The program of investment continues through into 2011.
ABS Jets is increasing its hangar capacity by building a new hangar at the Prague airport and refurbishing the existing hangar as well. An increase in storage facilities will improve conditions and turnaround time for the 48 and 96 months inspections. So far 12 of these inspections have been completed on Legacy 600s, this has established ABS Jets as the Maintenance Center with the greatest level of experience in this sector.
To offer their clients more service opportunities, ABS Jets has installed new paint and composites facilities.
Speaking on behalf of ABS Jets, CEO Vladimir Petak said “We have implemented one of the most intensive and effective series of upgrades and improvements to our facilities resulting in the most state-of-the-art maintenance center imaginable. The demands of the UAE CAA are of the highest standards and we are delighted to have been able to work closely with them to fully meet their requirements and create such an MRO facility. Our position in the center of Europe means we are perfectly placed to handle the requirements of our UAE customers and offer them the ultimate in aircraft maintenance services.”
Daniel Holda, Technical Director of ABS jets added “ABS Jets feels that MEBA has been a total success. We managed to meet all customers as planned and our discussions have been very promising. Immediately after returning to Europe we received first responses and a number of requests to quote for our maintenance services. It definitely confirms our feelings before MEBA, that the Middle East is a key area for further development, not only our MRO services but for the whole of ABS Jets. We are ready to do our best to provide customers with a service that will have them returning again and again.”
