Capacity

The “Hangar 5” is placed in the industrial facility of the Ezeiza international airport and allows to work simultaneously on 2 wide-body aircraft or on four Boeing 737s of the 800 & Max series, such as those owned by Aerolineas Argentinas for regional & domestic flights.

The building was designed in an environmentally friendly way by having low-energy LED lighting, a reuse system for rainwater for cleaning work and, on the other hand, the floor allows the collection of industrial liquids that are derived from one of the adjoining buildings for treatment.

Security

“This hangar allows us to continue working and investing in security, with the best technology and increasing the productive capacity of our industrial plant,” said Mario Dell’acqua, president of the Airlines Group.

The hangar will serve to carry out the so-called “major” maintenance tasks, which are those that are carried out approximately every year and a half and that involve the complete revision of each of the aircraft components.
