Volga-Dnepr Gulf,
Volga-Dnepr Technics’ subgroup branch in the Middle East,
has successfully performed its first A-check on a Boeing 737-400 for the
Slovenian airline SolinAir.
The work was completed in Volga-Dnepr Gulf’s
MRO hangar at Sharjah airport. In addition, the Volga-Dnepr maintenance team
carried out additional works, replacing some components and aircraft washing.
Volga-Dnepr Gulf obtained its EASA Part 145
approval in October 2014, gaining authorisation to provide line maintenance for
Boeing 737CL & NG, 747-400 and Airbus A320 Family aircraft, as well as
component repair (C4, C5, C8, C14, C20 Ratings) and non-destructive testing (D1
Rating) services.
“SolinAir has been a Volga-Dnepr Gulf
customer for transit and daily checks since August 2014 and we signed a
long-term agreement for line maintenance services and A-checks for SolinAir’s
fleet of two Boeing 737CL’s in November. We are sure that our experienced staff and modern facilities will form a solid base to
build a mutually beneficial relationship between our companies,” said Volga-Dnepr Gulf’s
Managing Director, Viktor Sherin.
Volga-Dnepr Gulf has been operating in the UAE
since 1996. The company has a new hangar in Sharjah with a production area of some
22,000m². The hangar can provide maintenance for up to six narrow-body (B737,
A320, IL-76) or two wide-body (B747 or An-124-100) aircraft at the same time
and is fully equipped to perform high quality maintenance for different types
of aircraft up to C-check. It also has modern air conditioning and fire safety systems.
Volga-Dnepr also operates a further line
maintenance station in Fujairah which, similar
to the Sharjah station, is capable of providing all types of maintenance checks
and auxiliary services for An-124-100, An-74 and IL-76TD aircraft types
operated by Russian, Ukrainian, European, Asian and African airlines.
Volga-Dnepr Gulf
will be exhibiting its services to airline customers at the MRO Middle East
2015 international event in Dubai
in February.
