TAM MRO, newest member of Airbus MRO Network

Enhancing services for Airbus customers in South America

In April, TAM MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul), a TAM S.A. holding business unit, signed an agreement to become the newest member of the Airbus MRO Network. The announcement was made at the MRO Americas conference and exhibition in Dallas, Texas.

Thanks to more than 50 line stations within South America and more than 1000 direct employees, TAM MRO is able to provide maintenance and technical ground support for a considerable number of customers that operate in this region. Certified by key global aviation regulatory agencies (EASA, FAA, DGAC, ANAC among others) and ISO 14001 certified, the TAM Technological Center is qualified to serve over 5,000 P/Ns, perform inspection, testing, maintenance, modification, repair and overhaul.

Rogerio Watanabe, Manager MRO Business at TAM MRO, expresses that this kind of agreement will bring added value to the airlines in Latin America: “I believe we can be very instrumental for the current and future Airbus operators in the region in a way that we can help them to focus on their core business, which is the operation of the airline.”

TAM MRO will maintain or excede the expectations of current customers, explains Watanabe: “An organization like ours would perform part of their non-core activities, such as the heavy maintenance of the aircraft and their components. With companies like us in the Latin America, I believe more airlines can turn their choices towards the Airbus family of aircraft, because they will know they will have a reliable and efficient maintenance provider from who to outsource.”

The Airbus MRO Network is designed to provide customers with a worldwide choice of competitive, high-quality maintenance services from MRO providers with Airbus aircraft experience in order to establish performance benchmarks for maintenance efficiency and customer satisfaction.

A member of a worldwide network in the highly specialized area of the MRO business, TAM MRO currently provides services for the Airbus A320 and A330/A340 Families throughout South America.
