Adria Tehnika and easyJet Sign Cooperation Agreement

Adria Tehnika has signed a cooperation agreement with British airline easyJet. The agreement has been concluded for two years and covers works in the passenger cabin – reconfiguration of the cabin from 180 to 186 seats, the installation of a new galley and new lavatories. The aircraft will be worked on one after another during the winter timetable in the 2016/2017 and 2017/2018 seasons. There are at least 18 providers of such services in Europe, and easyJet has chosen four to perform these works – including Adria Tehnika. Gary Smith, easyJet Business Lead for the 186 seat cabin program, said »We are very pleased to have selected Adria Tehnika to take part in this important project. This is our first major project with Adria Tehnika; we were impressed by their depth of experience in A320 maintenance and we are keen to develop relationships with MROs that fit our requirements".
