Atlantic Air Industries Joins ATR Maintenance Network

French aircraft maintenance company Atlantic Air Industries has joined the MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul) network of turboprop aircraft manufacturer ATR.

Atlantic Air Industries operates a maintenance station at Toulouse-Francazal airport that specializes in the heavy maintenance of ATR airframes.

Germany's Rheinland Air Service also recently joined the MRO network, the two companies serving the European market. ATR's existing partnership with Fokker Services handles the Asian market.

“It is very important to support our operators as they grow, by also providing assistance and advice in the field of aircraft maintenance. The development of this network of ATR-approved centers fits in perfectly with our wish to guide our operators towards maintenance centers, like AAI, that are well experienced with our aircraft,” said Lilian Braylé, ATR's Product Support and Services Senior VP.

Presently, some 60 airlines operate over 320 ATR aircraft in Europe.
