Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul

At our Wichita facility, we have provided customer support for nacelle repairs for years. Now, we have expanded the capabilities of our repair center to include fuselage doors, structural components and modification kits.

Additionally, our expertise and experience in composite repair of complex contoured components and restoring acoustic integrity are known throughout the world. And the way we deliver on these and all of our services is driven by two customer-focused goals: exceptional quality and shortest turnaround time possible.

Our FAA-certified Repair Center also works on flight-control devices for service bulletin compliance, as well as under-wing components for domestic and international customers.

In September 2008, we opened a new maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) repair station at our Prestwick, Scotland facility. This new facility, which has received its European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Certification, performs composite repairs and overhauls for customers in Europe, Africa and the Middle East. The initial scope of work will be focused on engine nacelles and components for Boeing 737NG and 777 aircraft.

In November 2009, through a joint venture with HAECO/TAECO and others, Spirit AeroSystems opened a new maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) repair station in Jinjiang, China. This new facility, known as Taikoo Spirit AeroSystems (Jinjiang) Composite Co. Ltd. ("Taikoo Spirit" for short), has received its CAAC, EASA, and FAA Certifications. The facility provides repair, manufacture and after-sale services to support both narrow and wide body aircraft on Boeing and Airbus composite components in P.R. China and the Asia Pacific region.  Primary focus of the repair facility is engine nacelles and components for Boeing 737NG and 777 aircraft.  To find out more about Taikoo Spirit, access the web site at www.taikoospirit.com.

On-site service is one of our specialities. Repair technicians as well as engineers go to wherever our customers need them to go to help with certification support and stand-alone repair kits. Our on-site commitment and capability have been especially valuable to our international customers.
