Magnetic MRO, a Total Technical Care and asset management organization, and SAS has extended the Base Maintenance agreement for Base Maintenance service for the whole A320-NEO fleet. The original contract between two companies has been signed in December 2017 and recently has been prolonged until 2023 and consists of maintenance visits of 56 airplanes.

"SAS’ A320-NEO fleet is brand new and just came out of Airbus factory. And for our team of professionals here at Magnetic MRO is one more step forward working on new generation aircraft. These new aircraft will serve as SAS' narrowbody fleet backbone for the next couple decades and we are honored to be chosen as partners for its base maintenance", shares Sergei Shkolnik, Base Maintenance Director at Magnetic MRO.

According to Mr Shkolnik, the scope of work covered in this agreement is technically demanding yet interesting as Magnetic MRO has an opportunity to work on the fleet for a long time. It allows to predict the maintenance needs and also serves as a great chance for the companies’ professionals to mature together with aircraft itself.
