Published on: Thursday, 26th April, 2007

Abu Dhabi - A fire broke out in a hangar close to Abu Dhabi Airport last week causing severe damage to at least one aircraft. The aircraft was parked for routine heavy maintenance at the Gulf Aircraft Maintenance Company (GAMCO) hangar when the fire broke out.
Civil Defence officials rushed to the scene and a spokesman for GAMCO said the fire was controlled quickly. The hangar was safely evacuated and there were no injuries reported.
“All fire detection and protection systems worked as expected, the fire was contained expeditiously by the prompt action of Civil Defence, Airport Fire Department and Gamco staff,” said GAMCO. A full investigation into the cause of the fire is under way.
