AAR Completes Aircraft Cabin Modifications for Bhutan National Carrier

AAR has completed a cabin modification project in a tight timeframe on three Airbus A319-100s flown by Drukair, the national carrier of the Royal Government of Bhutan.

AAR replaced the business and economy class seats, installed additional passenger seating in economy class and received design approvals from the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), Europe’s airworthiness authority.

AAR completed the modifications of the three aircraft in just eight weeks.

“May I take this opportunity to thank everyone for their generous contribution and support in ensuring the successful completion of this project,” said Thrimchong Wangdi, General Manager of Drukair. “We acknowledge that the project had a tight deadline and without the commitment and dedication of all involved, the completion would not have been possible.”

Michael Leung, Director, AAR Engineering Services – Asia, commended AAR Engineering Services Singapore for ensuring quality in a fast turnaround.

“Our team put a lot into developing the engineering and managing the supply chain, including our seat shop and MRO partner. They once again proved capable of completing high-intensity programs on time, meeting customer expectations,” Leung said. “We provide our customers in Asia and elsewhere a one-stop shop for all their aircraft modification needs to help them meet challenges in a dynamic market environment.”
