Skilled Trades are involved in the Maintenance of an Aircraft and Components

Aircraft Maintenance is the most important department within an airline. Maintenance makes the final decision as to whether an aircraft is ready for flight, a decision governed by the principle of “Safety First”. As such, maintenance is involved in almost all aspects of the airline, from where we fly, to how often we fly and when we fly.
