Aircraft Maintenance and Repair Stations

Aeroflot Group operates an efficient aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) system which services the fleet of Aeroflot airline, subsidiary airlines, and third-party aircraft and ensures high reliability, flight safety, and on-time performance.

The MRO policy of Aeroflot Group airlines provides for strict compliance with the requirements of countries of registration, maintenance programmes, and aircraft lease agreements. It is focused on enhancing capacity and technical competencies, rolling out cutting-edge technological solutions, and providing employee training and development opportunities while constantly improving economic efficiency.

Each of the Group companies has departments responsible for airworthiness and maintenance of operated aircraft. The airlines also cooperate with one another under signed agreements.

Aeroflot Group has in place a strategic programme to centralise maintenance of aircraft and components for Aeroflot and subsidiary airlines. The centralisation provides for separating base and line maintenance.

Aeroflot Group has its own maintenance facilities in Moscow Vnukovo and Sheremetyevo airports, as well as in Saint Petersburg, Orenburg, Vladivostok, and Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk airports.

The Group includes A-Technics, a specialist aircraft and component maintenance and repair subsidiary operating maintenance centres in Moscow Vnukovo airport and Orenburg airport.
