Ryan Air, one of the foremost low cost
carriers of Europe, is now opening up a maintenance and repair organization (MRO)
facility in Poland. The airline has announced its plan to invest heavily in
this facility which will be capable of performing the C-level checks of 737
aircraft. This will require investment of Euros 6 millions in
Wroclaw-Copernicus airport of Poland.
It has to be noted that airlines are
subjected to different levels of checks during the course of their life in
order to ensure that they remain airworthy and are safe to fly. When these
checks are to be performed depends on a number of factors such as the number of
hours the plane is flown, the weather conditions in which this is flown for
most of the time and many others. Out of these different categories of checks,
the C-level checks are the most comprehensive ones in which the whole aircraft
is practically built up from scrap. It involves highest costs of all the
checks.
By investing in this sector in Poland,
Ryanair would be trusting the abilities of local manpower, providing training,
generate more employment and deepen its cooperation in a fast growing market.
