CAMPSAS, FRANCE — Antavia has been selected as the provider of wheels and brakes maintenance for the Airbus Beluga XL. Antavia began providing maintenance services for Airbus oversize transport aircraft, the Super Guppy, in 1992. This support continued when the five strong fleet of BelugaST entered into service. Today, Antavia is proud to announce the continuation of its tailor-made MRO and logistics solutions services to Airbus for the Beluga XL fleet as well.

With more than 30 years of reliable service, Antavia is a leader in wheels and brakes repair as well as overhaul. In the last five years, more than 17,000 wheels and 2,500 brakes have been released from the company’s dedicated workshops.

“We are very proud to be contributing to the wheels and brakes maintenance of both the Beluga ST and XL aircrafts, two of the most voluminous cargo holds of any civil or military aircraft flying today,” said Laurent Bouissou, Managing Director of Antavia. “It is a business that places the utmost importance on regularity of services and on-time performance, which are values we share.”
