Skyways Technics Asia Successfully Expands Workshops and Capabilities

Skyways Technics A/S today announced that its fully owned subsidiary Skyways Technics Asia Sdn Bhd, established in Subang, Malaysia in 2014, has successfully extended its structural repair workshops and warehousing facilities to more than 3,000 m².

The workshops’ surface area has tripled, with the installation of additional shops for sheet metal and composite works. Furthermore, the warehouse has doubled in size, increasing the space for both owned and consigned structural components that are available for loan, exchange and outright sale. The components also further support operators in AOG situations.

Skyways Technics Asia continues its focus on regional aircraft support and is now able to release structural repairs for all ATR interior, fuselage, wing, nacelle, and door items, with both EASA and CAAM certification. The scope includes sensitive components such as radomes, outboard and inboard flaps, and flight control surfaces (ailerons / elevators / rudders).

Amaury Parent, Regional Manager in charge of Skyways Technics Asia development, says: “This substantial capability addition is a natural step after the successful launch of our MRO operations in Malaysia two years ago – a launch that was greatly welcomed by operators, MROs, and lessors throughout the Asia-Pacific region”.

“We are convinced there is definitely a need for more capabilities to be established in Asia Pacific, and this is why we have decided to specialize in regional aircraft structural repairs in Malaysia. Our capabilities are unique in this region, and the need is confirmed – from OEMs wanting to build a better aftermarket support network for operators, to airlines willing to use high-quality and affordable repair services, to MROs looking into refo-cusing on the core business of turning aircraft checks quickly and efficiently. Structural components are bulky and heavy, and sending them to Europe or North America for repair also often results in occasions where freight cost outweighs the actual repair cost.

We have a great setup established in Malaysia and a team of highly skilled and motivated employees that we want to do so much more with”, adds Regional Manager Amaury Parent. “We have a very strong relationship with and obligation towards amazing operators and lessors throughout Asia Pacific, with whom we believe we can bring further value with an increased offering of Skyways Technics Services. We really love what we do – we feel we just started and that the potential is fantastic”.

Going forward, the proximity and competitiveness of these unique capabilities in Asia are set to grow the level of regional support provided to the Asia-Pacific aviation industry. Skyways Technics is focused on the continued strong development and increase in workshop capabilities also as regards more aircraft types and Civil Aviation Approvals from neighboring countries.
