RUAG MRO International, the OEM of the Dornier 228, has completed a 72-month inspection on Bangladesh Navy’s (BN) Dornier 228-212 special-mission aircraft.
The MRO event was fulfilled on time and within budget at the OEM’s aircraft production facilities in Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany.
The aircraft has now resumed regular operations. In a special arrangement, RUAG MRO International’s technical specialists welcomed BN maintenance technicians, enabling additional training intended to expand the BN team’s work experience.
