Plane Maintenance Factory A76 - "Safety for Flights Is Our Happiness"

The Plane Maintenance Factory A.76 was set up on July 14, 1997. After 29 years’ building and development, the factory has gradually met requirements of the local aviation industry during the international integration process. In recognition of its contribution, the factory has been presented with the Exploit Order, first class, and two Labour Orders, second and third class, and many certificates of merit by the Government and the Vietnam Civil Aviation Administration.

 

Flight services and plane maintenance services are top tasks of the factory. To ensure the safety of flights, the factory had to build its facilities meeting stipulated standards, including workshops, equipment, professional literature and human resources.

 

The Plane Maintenance Factory A.76 has been assigned by the Vietnam Aviation Corporation to perform technology transfer for periodically maintaining A320, A321 and F70 planes. Each year, apart from ensuring the safety of flights, the factory has to perfect its material and technical base to provide effective maintenance services for A320, A321 and F70 planes. In particular, the factory has implemented major projects, including the 4C-5Y projects for A320 planes; C and D check projects for F70 planes and maintenance projects for B777 planes.Import

With its great efforts and determination, alongside creativity of its engineers and workers, the factory has gradually overcome difficulties, thus making a contribution to its completion of economic and technical tasks assigned by the corporation. Between 1998 and 2004, the factory served 71,688 taking off and landing of planes with 246,038 safe flight hours, including special flights of the Party and State leaders. A high quality maintenance service of the factory contributes to the safety of each flight of Vietnam Airlines, thus helping build its prestige during international integration.

 

Over the past 29 years, the Plane Maintenance Factory A76 has seen rapid development, especially as regards scientific and technological aspects. In the past, the factory repaired and provided maintenance services for USSR-made planes in the 1976-1990 period. Now, it provides services for modern planes manufactured by Airbus and Boeing. The factory’s top target is to ensure the safety of flights performed by planes, which receive maintenance services from the factory. This is not an easy task but the recorded achievements will be an encouragement for the factory’s engineers and workers to perform their technology transfer, thus gradually mastering modern aviation technologies.
