Radome repair work possible by AMES' investment in a large-scale autoclave.

Dubai, UAE, Paris, Amsterdam January 23, 2018 - Aerostructures Middle East Services (AMES) is now supporting five airlines with its radome repair solutions, providing services at competitive rates with quick turnaround times for operators throughout the Middle East and Indian Peninsula.

To date, AMES has repaired nine radomes for Airbus A320 Family aircraft and five for Boeing 737s, demonstrating its capability as the only maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) operator in the coverage area to develop and market full repair services for these airframe components.

The radome repair work was made possible by AMES' investment in a large-scale, three-meter diameter autoclave - which expands its ability to handle a wide range of aerostructure components. This resource is backed by the expertise of AMES' two parent companies: Air France Industries KLM Engineering & Maintenance (AFI KLM E&M), and Safran Nacelles.

AMES' repair capacity enables it to expand its services for Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 and Boeing Next-Generation 737 radome repairs to additional customers, while also expanding to other radomes on other aircraft types in the future.
