Storm Aviation, part of FL Technics, has established its base maintenance operations in Glasgow Prestwick Airport to provide aircraft maintenance solutions to existing and future customers.

Kenny Chan, director of maintenance at Storm Aviation, said: “Focusing our base efforts at our Glasgow Prestwick hangar is a strategic move to streamline our operations and improve efficiency.

“By centralising our base maintenance solution at Glasgow Prestwick, we aim to better serve our customers with the highest quality standards while ensuring a sustainable business model.”

Storm Aviation said the decision to cease its London-Stansted hangar facility was driven by the company’s disciplined approach to resource allocation and operational efficiency. The change enables Storm Aviation to re-align its strategic goals and optimise the resources and expertise in line with the market dynamics and enhance productivity and service quality.

Following the rebrand from Chevron Aircraft Maintenance to Storm Aviation earlier this year, the firm states the move further solidifies its presence locally and underscores its commitment to investing in the local community.

Storm Aviation has implemented several enhancements at the Glasgow Prestwick facility, including new capabilities, enhanced management structure, and investments in people and infrastructure.

The company says these improvements ensure that the quality and range of services offered, from engine changes to C2 6-year base checks of the A320/A321/B737/B787 Family aircraft, are consistently delivered on time and on budget, to meet its customer’s requirements.
