Brazil’s GOL Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes said its maintenance center at Tancredo Neves International in Belo Horizonte has been approved by the National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC). The center can now provide maintenance services—comprising conventional and electrostatic painting, weighing and calibration—for Boeing 737-300s, -700s and -800 fleet, opening up an opportunity for third-party services.
The airline’s technical VP, Adalberto Bogsan, said the approval represents “a major advance for GOL” and underlines “the maturity of the work developed at the maintenance center.” The authorization comes in the wake of a project launched some four years ago “to internalize maintenance processes,” which now means a new revenue source for the airline group, said Bogsan.
The aircraft maintenance center went through a BRL$65 million ($35.4 million) upgrade in 2010, which increased capacity to 120 aircraft per year and enabled it to undertake heavy fuselage and preventive maintenance, aircraft painting and internal aircraft configuration.
