Monarch Aircraft Engineering Limited (MAEL), the engineering division of Monarch Airlines, has been approved to add the Airbus A380 aircraft to its MRO portfolio.

The additional aircraft type has been added to the EASA and GCAA Part 145 approvals, allowing MAEL to provide line maintenance support for Airbus A380 operators at Birmingham Airport.

Derek Gibson, Commercial Director at Monarch Aircraft Engineering, said:

“Adding the Airbus A380 aircraft to our Part 145 certificate gives us a wider scope of airframe capabilities. The investment made provides further evidence of our commitment to expand and support customers operating the next generation of aircraft.”
