ATR to Optimise Asia Pacific Repairs with Skyways Technics
Toulouse, 11 May, 2021 – Leading turboprop manufacturer ATR is strengthening its partnership with Skyways Technics’ Malaysian branch, to further support aftermarket needs in the Asia Pacific region. The synergy will offer support and facilitate the management of sensitive structural component repairs such as Leading-Edge repairs, Flight Controls and Flaps. This deeper relationship will offer operators a repair solution at a more attractive price, with greater technical support.
