We would like to emphasize that BAA Training operates its own Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) organization called Avia Repair Co, situated at Lleida International Airport, alongside our flight school facility.
Avia Repair Co specializes in high-quality maintenance activities, encompassing routine or pre-planned maintenance that is typically scheduled based on factors such as flight hours since the last maintenance check, the number of cycles, or the age of the aircraft. Additionally, the organization carries out ad-hoc maintenance tasks.
Regrettably, our maintenance capability was temporarily disrupted as a result of the aforementioned storm. However, we are pleased to inform you that since the end of February, our maintenance hangar is fully operational and functioning smoothly.
While it is true that we experienced flight cancellations due to technical issues, it is important to note that these decisions were made in adherence to safety protocols and to allow sufficient time for a comprehensive analysis of the situation. We prioritize the safety of our operations and ensure that necessary repairs are carried out effectively.
It is worth mentioning that the establishment of Avia Repair Co a couple of years ago did not introduce an entirely unfamiliar business field for BAA Training. As a member of the Avia Solutions Group (ASG), the parent company of BAA Training, we were already part of a group that operated twelve MRO organizations. This affiliation provides us with trusted resources, enabling knowledge sharing and robust spare parts supply support.
Furthermore, we have established partnerships with several MRO organizations that assist us in performing more complex maintenance tasks when necessary. These collaborations bolster our capabilities and allow us to deliver comprehensive maintenance solutions.
Fancy words but your maintenance hangar is a tent which was turned upside down during the storm which you keep on referring to as a force majeure event. All your tools were scattered to the left and right of the apron and beyond.
Even after the storm you have learnt no lessons and you still keep on storing your aircraft outdoors with ropes and stones and yes your maintenance hangar is still a tent.
Had you had any respect for your the quality of your customers training, integrity of the fleet and aviation in general, you would have invested in proper hangars after the storm.
But you don't.
