SriLankan Engineering notched up another achievement to its impressive list with the recent completion of a C check for customer airline SalamAir, an Oman-based budget airline.

The heavy maintenance C check was performed on a SalamAir A320neo aircraft, at SriLankan Engineering’s dedicated European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA)-approved A320 hangar, as part of a series of C checks that has been awarded to SriLankan Engineering. 

Contracts for heavy maintenance have proven profitable for the airline. Further, the revenue earned from such maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) projects is typically in foreign currency and thus generates foreign currency for the airline and country at this 
critical time. 

SriLankan Engineering has been resolute in building strategic partnerships and acquiring MRO projects from other airlines since 2020, bringing in the much-needed foreign currency to the airline and country alike.  Over the years, SriLankan Engineering has etched a solid track record for providing high-quality MRO services. Having the necessary human and technical resources, the airline’s hub is strategically located in the Indian Ocean and the necessary international certifications and approvals have given the impetus to secure new high-value contracts from the region and beyond.

This includes signing of five new contracts with other airlines and leasing companies in Asia and the Middle East to provide services in relation to aircraft MRO activities in the past 12 months.

SriLankan Engineering is a provider of choice in MRO activities in the region, with its strong expertise in Airbus aircraft, excellent facilities and experienced engineering personnel. The engineering arm of the national carrier possesses the prestigious EASA 145 certification for aircraft maintenance and its training facility has the EASA 147 certification from the EASA.
