Magnetic MRO, a member of Magnetic Group, has successfully completed its 800th C-check milestone on a Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS) A319 aircraft.

The company states the achievement was completed within a remarkable timeframe of just 1.5 years since its 700th C-check.

SAS is the flag carrier for Denmark, Norway and Sweden, flying passengers to 1,300 destinations worldwide.

According to Magnetic MRO, the extensive six-year C-check process posed unexpected challenges, leading to significant findings requiring parts replacements and the acquisition of specialised tools from around the globe, but effective communication with OEMs played a vital role in obtaining repair approvals.

Sergei Shkolnik, base maintenance director at Magnetic MRO, said: “It has been a great pleasure and honour to work together with SAS all these years, starting from 2004 when the first C-check on SAS was completed.

“Twenty-one years from the first check till today’s anniversary have passed in an eye blink. I am sure there are two or more decades ahead of good cooperation between the two companies.”
