ATR Inaugurates Main Maintenance Base At Toulouse-Francazal Airport

New OSAC-Certified Site Enables ATR To Consolidate Its Industrial Base

ATR has inaugurated its new aeronautical maintenance site in the presence of local officials. ATR’s application was approved by OSAC, the French body for civil aviation safety, which awarded it with a certificate of accreditation as a maintenance organization. This certification gives ATR the go-ahead to conduct maintenance activities at this site.

ATR decided to invest substantially in Toulouse-Francazal airport in order to secure high-quality facilities over the long-term. These facilities will provide employees and customers with excellent working conditions while complying with aeronautical regulations.

The new site amalgamates ATR’s Part 145 maintenance activities for all of its customers worldwide, i.e. maintenance, servicing and repairs plus related training activities. It will also be possible to conduct Part 147 on-the-job training activities (maintenance, servicing and repairs) for airline technicians. Qualified ATR teams based at the site will provide services to operators, either in the form of major maintenance work in coordination with the design offices, or via secondments to the customer. Last but not least, our ‘prototype’ activities will also be based at Francazal. Our two prototypes – ATR 42-600 and ATR 72-600 – will be prepared for testing and analyzing new technologies.

“Technicians from around the world will come to train at Toulouse-Francazal airport thanks to these Part 145 and 147 certifications. For ATR, this new facility was vital for supporting our growth. We can provide our customers with quality services, while at the same time continuously improving the operational reliability of our aircraft!” said Patrick de Castelbajac, ATR CEO. “We are extremely proud of this new foothold in the Toulouse region, which is yet further proof of the success of our 35-year-long partnership.”
