Etihad Engineering, one of the world’s leading maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services providers, recently showcased its comprehensive capabilities and key achievements to a visiting delegation from Argentina.



The delegation was led by Dr Matias Kulfas, Minister of Productive Development, Daniel Filmus, Minister of Science, Technology & Innovation, and Mirta Iriondo, President, Fabrica Argentina de Aviones.



The delegation was hosted by Abdul Khaliq Saeed, Chief Executive Officer, and other senior executives from Etihad Engineering. Following a corporate presentation, the group was taken on an extensive tour of Etihad Engineering’s 500,000-sq-m facility.



The tour encompassed aircraft hangars at the facility which cover approximately 66,000 sq metres, including dedicated aircraft painting facilities and a custom-designed hangar that can accommodate up to three Airbus A380 aircraft simultaneously.



In 2019, Etihad Engineering signed a comprehensive agreement with Fabrica Argentina de Aviones (FAdeA), Argentina’s main aircraft manufacturer, to serve MRO customers in South America. As part of the agreement, Etihad Engineering has been supporting FAdeA in developing processes and capabilities to maintain and modify aircraft and aircraft components, while utilising FAdeA’s skilled aviation professionals and well-equipped facilities in South America.
