Another large-scale development at the airport: Satys to establish an aircraft painting hangar in Budapest
Change language:
The Satys Group, an international company with a French background engaged in painting, maintenance and refurbishment of aircrafts, is moving in to Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport. Their new paint hangar, located next to the aircraft maintenance hangars between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, will be able to accommodate two Boeing 737-900 or two Airbus A321 type aircraft for simultaneous painting.
Budapest Airport and the Satys Group signed an agreement whereby the aircraft maintenance giant will establish a new painting hangar at the Hungarian capital city airport. The hangar is designed to enable the simultaneous painting of two Boeing 737-900 or two Airbus A321 type aircraft. Satys’s new Budapest base will further enhance the airport’s actual MRO (maintenance, repair and overhaul) services. The new hangar will be financed by Budapest Airport, and is planned to be handed over by the end of 2020.
This development fits perfectly with the strategy of Budapest Airport to support the aviation community by providing the very best infrastructure and business environment together with the MRO companies already located at Budapest Airport (Aeroplex and Lufthansa Technik).
The aviation community warmly welcomes this development since the service portfolio combined with aircraft painting will be unique in Europe. The combined services grant the airline customers a much faster service at just one location instead of taxiing an aircraft to another location in Europe for painting.
Christophe Cador, Chief Executive Officer and the Group’s founder said: “Budapest Airport is a strategic location for the Satys Group with the presence of 3 major actors in aeronautical maintenance (Lufthansa, Aeroplex and Wizzair) who previously didn’t have any painting hangars.
This painting hangar is part of the development strategy of the Satys Business Unit Aftermarket & VIP Painting, which will double its turnover in the next 3 years.”
