STS Aviation Group has announced the expansion of STS Aviation Services UK, with the opening of two new line maintenance stations.

The UK stations are located at East Midlands (EMA) and Norwich (NWI) airports, and will be effective April 1, 2024.

Providing a full range of services, including routine maintenance checks, aircraft-on-ground (AOG) support and other line maintenance services, the new stations will ensure enhanced operational efficiency and reliability for airline clients.

Jonathan Delahunty, sales manager for STS Aviation Services in the UK, said: “We are delighted to have further expanded our line maintenance operations. The opening of these new line stations at EMA and NWI marks a significant milestone in our commitment to providing top-tier line maintenance services.

“With our dedication to operational excellence, we are well-placed to provide reliable customer service to a broader client base, starting with our valued customer, Air Explore.”

Ian Bartholomew, executive vice president and managing director of STS Aviation Services Europe, said: “STS set out some time ago to rapidly increase our line maintenance presence in the UK and Europe. Opening these stations is the first part of delivering on this plan.

“We have ambitions to be an established provider at a number of key hubs and regional airports, building on the success of our STS Line Maintenance colleagues who dominate the landscape in the USA, and reinforcing our position as a market leader in the aviation MRO sector.”
