The deal, struck at last week’s Paris Air Show, gives Airhub Aviation direct access to a wide range of Airbus engineering and upgrade services, supporting its long-term strategy of investing in midlife and end-of-life Airbus aircraft.
Under the agreement, Airhub Aviation will benefit from the streamlined procurement of OEM-certified modifications.
These include advanced navigation systems, enhanced safety features, and performance upgrades supporting cargo configurations and greater aircraft flexibility.
Airhub Aviation Managing Director Oleg Novak said: “Having a framework agreement directly with Airbus allows us to bypass intermediaries, ensuring faster execution, greater reliability and access to certified Airbus modifications.
“For an aviation asset management company like ours, this ensures optimal lead times and access to the highest quality services.”
Airhub Aviation’s facility in Siauliai, Lithuania holds base maintenance approvals for the Airbus A320ceo family, including C, 6Y and 12Y checks.
It also provides line maintenance and out-of-scope maintenance for legacy platforms such as Airbus A330, Airbus A340 and Boeing 737 NG, as well as NEOs including the A320neo and A330neo.
The MRO facility can accommodate five narrow-body aircraft simultaneously or a mix of one wide-body and two narrow-body aircraft, including models up to the size of the Airbus A350-1000.
