Abu Dhabi-based maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) provider, Sanad Aerotech, has announced its expanding its international customers network in Eastern Europe, signing two maintenance agreements with Russian Nordwind and Bulgarian BH Air.
The partnership agreements come after Sanad Aerotech and Rolls-Royce announced a landmark $6.5 billion engine maintenance agreement including component repair to operators globally over a nine-year period and signify Sanad Aerotech’s collaboration with leading operators in Eastern Europe for the first time.
Sanad Aerotech CEO, Mansoor Janahi said, “We’re thrilled to increase our global footprint into the Eastern European region, expanding our work with leading operators with solid growth projections.
