San Pablo Service Centre
Airbus Military San Pablo Service Centre – the company’s principal maintenance base - is located at Seville airport, close to the new A400M and Light & Medium Final Assembly Lines (FALs).
Activities vary from programmed maintenance checks for all Airbus Military aircraft, version modifications, customisation, specific mission systems installation, application of airworthiness directives, service bulletin implementation, AOLs, TIs, painting, and interiors renewal.
Modifications
Airbus Military’s market-leading ability to upgrade military aircraft enables operators to use modernization and upgrade programmes to preserve the competitiveness of their aircraft fleets.
Airbus Military carries out retrofits and modifications on its family of light and medium tactical aircraft – the C212, CN235 and C295 – as well as derivatives of the larger Airbus A310 and A330 models. In addition, Airbus Military carries out modifications to other platforms, such as the P-3 Orion.
At the heart of many of these upgrades is FITS (Fully Integrated Tactical System) - one of the most successful products in the Airbus Military modifications portfolio. This system displays sensor-derived tactical and navigation information in an intuitive way in real-time, effectively enable crews to prosecute their SAR, maritime patrol, anti-submarine warfare or anti-surface warfare missions.
Tailoring the aircraft to the customer, Airbus Military not only matches customer expectations but walks the extra mile, anticipating the future.
Aircraft finishing
We offer a full range of finishing services including: 100% paint removal; anticorrosion treatment; fully customized painting; final touch-up; and logo application. Airbus Military, throughout a worldwide suppliers’ net, offers the most durable interiors in the market, customised and in a timely manner.
Working Parties
When a maintenance challenge requires Airbus Military personnel to work on-site, we are ready to respond. We have created a specialized Working Parties department inside Airbus Military to ensure a timely and effective response.
The Working Parties (WP) unit is a whole department focused on both supplying MRO services wherever and whenever required and providing levels of quality and customer satisfaction, exactly as if the work were performed in Airbus Military facilities.
Some examples of what Airbus Military has faced recently include: replacement of landing gear in the jungle; structural repairs; training on replacing engines in the desert; implementation of different Service Bulletins, AOLs or TIs; depot maintenance checks; and recovery of aircraft.
