Chris Coleman, Managing Director at Caerdav, said: “With the global demand for aircraft maintenance continuing to increase, opening a fourth line was the next phase of our detailed growth strategy.
 
“We are delighted to be in a position to bring additional jobs and opportunities to South Wales. Having signed agreements with a range of new customers, from airlines to major leasing companies,  we are now in a position to fill our hangars throughout the year – which is the target for every aircraft MRO.”

Caerdav’s remodelled hangars include improved back shop capabilities and additional workshop space, allowing the company to support a wider range of maintenance activities on-site, including composite repairs, non-destructive testing, plus repair and restoration paint services.
 
With the ability to perform most of the work in-house at St Athan, Caerdav has been able to improve efficiencies and decrease turnaround times for customer aircraft.

Offering a full range of heavy checks, refurbishment, end-of-life and end-of-lease transition maintenance, the company has been able to establish itself as a significant player in the global aircraft MRO market.

Chris concluded: “It’s a fantastic time to be part of the team at Caerdav. Our independence is one of our core strengths, allowing us to work with who we choose and to secure exciting new opportunities with valuable customers. With our apprenticeship programme going from strength to strength every year, the future is looking extremely bright.” 

Caerdav is an independent, fully-approved and certified MRO based at the Cardiff Airport and Bro Tathan Enterprise Zone in St Athan, South Wales, UK. Operating from a former RAF maintenance base equipped with 6,000ft ILS runway and parking for up to 20 narrow-bodied airliners, Caerdav primarily specialises in a full range of MRO work for Boeing 737 and Airbus 320 Family.
