"We value the trust Swiss has placed in us and we remain fully committed to strengthening our relationship with Swiss by meeting and exceeding their expectations. This was the first nose to tail program of heavy checks to be carried out on the Airbus A220 and provides a strong endorsement of the quality and skill sets of the team involved, our capabilities in the narrow body segment and of our dedicated MRO facilities at Maastricht Airport." said Constant van Schaik, CEO of SAMCO Aircraft Maintenance.
