Delta TechOps in MSP works on Hawaiian Airlines Airbus A330s
October 19, 2011
The Delta TechOps team in Minneapolis/St. Paul will be performing maintenance checks on two of Hawaiian Airlines’ Airbus 330-200 aircraft during the coming weeks as part of Delta’s maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) agreement with the airline.
The 1C checks typically are completed at 18-month intervals. These maintenance visits consist of comprehensive scheduled inspections and routine maintenance tasks during a seven-day period.
“Over the years, we’ve developed a strong partnership with Hawaiian because of the skills and professionalism of the men and women in Technical Operations,” said Tony Charaf, president-Delta TechOps. “This particular agreement is the direct result of the MSP team’s efforts to grow our MRO business. I’m so proud of the outstanding job they’ve done to expand our MRO capabilities to the A330 fleet and by working so well with our launch customer, Hawaiian.”
In 2009, Delta TechOps signed a comprehensive maintenance agreement with Hawaiian on their A330 fleet, which included line maintenance, component maintenance services, inventory provisioning and support, maintenance planning and scheduling, engineering support, contractor management and other technical services. Delta also supports the Hawaiian 767 fleet with component, engine and line maintenance services.
