Volga-Dnepr Technics Moscow (VDTM), a business unit of Volga-Dnepr Group, has completed the certification of a line maintenance station in Liege, Belgium, for aircraft registered in Bermuda. As one of the largest Russian MRO providers, it is now able to carry out scheduled line maintenance for 737-300/400/500, 747-400 and 747-8 aircraft. Approved scope of work includes daily maintenance and defect elimination.
“The set-up of the line maintenance station in Liege is a huge step forward for us because it makes accessible the European maintenance market for B737-300/400/500, B747-400 and B747-8 aircraft. Our employees managed to accomplish the whole certification process in a record-breaking five months, half of which was spent on the preparation and provision of facilities with the necessary equipment. We intend to expand a range of services with a focus on quality and timely fulfillment of commitments,” said Pavel Tereschenkov, VDTM General Director.
At present, VDTM is carrying out the maintenance of aircraft of AirBridgeCargo Airlines, which is a part of Volga-Dnepr Group and operates a fleet of 18 B747 freighters. In the near future, the station will also start providing MRO services for Atran Airlines’ B737s.
The company is willing to develop a range of services at the line maintenance station in Liege, including organization of engine washing for the mentioned aircraft types, as well as to facilitate cooperation with other airline partners.
