Technical expertise has export potential
Finnair Technical Services' business is growing. High-quality, expert maintenance keeps Finnair's fleet of aircraft in first-class condition and in efficient use. The provision of maintenance services to other airlines is also a rapidly growing area of business.
Finnair Technical Services sells its wide-ranging maintenance expertise to around 20 airlines. In recent years, the volume of the Finnair Group's external maintenance services has risen sharply and new markets are opening all the time. In Russia and Asia there are numerous airlines for whom Finnair's expertise and reliable maintenance is an attractive option.
One of Finnair Technical Services' most important external customers is Aeroflot Cargo. Cooperation covers line maintenance, equipment repair and airframe maintenance of the company's DC-10 cargo aircraft, i.e. in practice all maintenance except for the engines. As a consequence of an agreement signed with Finnair Technical Services in 2004, the time spent on Aeroflot Cargo's maintenance has nearly halved from what it was before. Maintenance is performed at the aircraft's home base at Frankfurt-Hahn Airport in Germany, where Finnair Technical Services has its own staff. |
