Air Canada ships maintenance work overseas after Aveos collapse

May 2, 2012

Air Canada is to outsource some of its aircraft maintenance work overseas after the collapse of its former maintenance unit Aveos Fleet Performance Inc. last month.

The country’s largest carrier said it still intends to send about 50 aircraft to maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facilities in Quebec owned by Avianor and Premier Aviation.

But about 60 aircraft were going to be sent to MRO facilities outside the country, including Premier’s New York facility, as well as Aeroframe Services, LLC and TIMCO Aviation Services in the U.S.
