2Excel Engineering gains CAA approval to add A320s to its MRO Approval Schedule

2Excel Engineering has gained approval from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to add Airbus A320 NEO family CFM LEAP-1A aircraft to its ‘Maintenance Organisation Approval Certificate’ at its base in Lasham, Hampshire.

The company already holds approvals to perform “Heavy Maintenance” checks on several aircraft types, including Boeing 727, 737 and 757, as well as the Airbus A320 CEO family, Beechcraft King Air, and Piper PA-31.

Matt Caswell, CEO of 2Excel Engineering, said: “NEO (New Engine Option) is one of many upgrades introduced by Airbus to maintain its A320 product line’s position as the world’s most advanced and fuel-efficient single-aisle aircraft family, bringing with it reduced noise levels, as well as upgraded passenger space and comfort.

“We have now welcomed the first ever Airbus 320 family NEO aircraft to Lasham, operated by Titan Airways, to commence its ‘C’ Check and this is a huge moment for the staff involved in making this happen. I would like to thank them all for their hard work and dedication.

“By adding Airbus A320 NEO CFM LEAP-1A aircraft to our Part 145 certificate, we will have expanded our capabilities and this allows us to build stronger relationships with both new and existing customers as they modernise their fleets.”

Alastair Willson, Managing Director of Titan Airways said: “2Excel Engineering has always been a very reliable partner for our Boeing 737 and 757 base maintenance requirements.”
