STS Aviation Services (STS) will begin MRO operations at its aircraft base maintenance facility in Manchester the first week of November, 2022.
“It was more than one year ago when STS first engaged with the relevant stakeholders for the facility. At that time, we set a go-live target for the first week of November, and we are now at that point,” states Ian Radford, VP of Technology for STS Aviation Services. “We have built a solid base for MRO in Manchester with space to grow. In addition to reaching our go-live target date, STS Aviation Services also received audit closure for its first C rating. Here we will build back-shop capabilities to go along with our sizeable engine shop and its B rating.”
“The business has worked tirelessly over the past three months to onboard approximately 70 newly-employed engineers, mechanics and other support personnel in Manchester,” said Eddie Boyce, Head of Base Maintenance in Manchester for STS Aviation Services. “In addition to assembling a dynamic workforce, we have made a significant investment in aircraft access equipment as well as tooling and test equipment. This will allow the STS team to use a fully automated tooling control system; the best in its class.”
