Maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) specialist SR Technics plans to build a new facility at Malta International Airport, with construction commencing soon, and to begin operating there in an existing hangar in the third quarter of this year. It hopes to benefit from lower labor costs in the region and from its location which gives the Switzerland-based group a foothold in the European Union.

“We have appointed a general manager and our local recruitment campaign is running very successfully,” a spokesman told AIN. The company envisions creating up to 350 jobs in Malta by 2014. At present, it will be very busy thanks to an 11-year extension of an approximately $1.6 billion contract to support EasyJet’s Airbus A319 fleet.
