Magnetic MRO, then Air Maintenance Estonia, started providing Austrian with airframe base maintenance services back in 2005. Since then numerous C-Checks have been performed on Austrian B737 NG fleet and now Magnetic MRO is delighted to service Austrian fleet of A320 Family aircraft. During the upcoming season, Magnetic MRO will perform a series of C-Checks which contain large structural inspections, landing gear changes and service bulletin embodiment.´

Under the new agreement, Magnetic MRO will take care of Austrian Airlines fleet of A320 aircraft during a nose-to-tail maintenance program from December 2014 until March 2015 in its facilities in Tallinn, Estonia. Each check with its defined ground time is unique due to different aircraft type, age and modification package added. Checks range from line to heavy maintenance events with combination of structure tasks and landing gear replacements. Subject to availability and approval of the modifications, a number of aircrafts will undergo light cabin refurbishment such as installation of new class divider systems, or In-Flight Entertainment systems.
