Airbus Services head Laurent Martinez said: “Since its creation in 2007, SAE has established a strong reputation in the MRO market for on-time and reliable service.

“Our ambition is for SAE to be a leading MRO in the region by becoming an innovation flagship for servicing Airbus commercial aircraft.”

Last month, SAE opened a second hangar to handle the increasing demand received from the Airbus A320 Family operators.
