As SR Technics continue to develop new repair capabilities for new and legacy engine types and aircraft platforms, it will be in a good position to support Vietravel as it grows and renew its fleet.”
Vu Duc Bien, CEO of Vietravel Airlines says: “With the cooperation agreement between Vietravel Airlines and SR Technics, a unit specializing in engine maintenance with EASA and international standards, we believe that the airline’s aircraft engines will be regularly maintained according to standards, to always be in the best condition to ensure the strict safety rules that the airline is applying. In addition, the signing of a comprehensive cooperation agreement will help the airline optimise the operating time of the aircraft since the time the engine is sent for maintenance (TAT – Turn around time) in the middle of each period is shortened, which helps the airline increase the using efficiency of aircraft and reduce costs.
