Air Astana has completed out a heavy maintenance 12-year C-check. The check was conducted on one of its A321 aircraft, which has been in its fleet since 2012.
“The ongoing commitment to develop in-house maintenance strength has significantly reduced costs previously incurred when heavy maintenance tasks were undertaken outside Kazakhstan,” said Air Astana director Astana technical centre and C-Check maintenance Robert Dando.
The company said it is the first Kazakh carrier to carry out a 12-year C-check. It has completed 32 C-checks in-house since 2019. It plans to perform another C-check by the end of this year.
