AIRE, a specialist in aircraft cabin integration and aviation certification, has completed the first radome repair at its maintenance facility in Madrid, Spain. The repair was performed for Iberojet, a Spanish long-haul airlines, and represents the first project completed under AIRE’s recently expanded EASA Part-145 approval scope, which now includes ATA 53 (fuselage), ATA 54 (nacelles/pylons) and ATA 57 (wing structures), covering both metallic and composite external aircraft structures.
AIRE says that this first radome enclosure repair marks more than the completion of a single maintenance event: it represents the opening of a new service line. The completion of this repair is the result of months of preparation involving process development for the composite structural repair, personnel training, tooling, quality assurance activities and regulatory approvals.
“The completion of our first radome repair validates the investments made in expanding our capabilities and demonstrates our commitment to providing increasingly comprehensive support to aircraft operators,” said Javier Camara, maintenance director at AIRE.
