S7 Technics, Russian provider of maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services, has prepared its Moscow’s Domodedovo airport site for the maintenance of the latest generation of Boeing 737 MAX aircraft.

The MRO specialist’s Domodedovo facility is approved to carry out maintenance procedures on the Boeing 737-7/8/9MAX powered by CFM International’s LEAP-1B engines under its own EASA Part 145 certificate which was earned in November 2018.

The company’s Moscow-based technical team of 15 personnel have been trained for the type and have all the necessary tools and equipment at their disposal for Boeing 737 MAX line and base maintenance, up to but currently not including C-checks.

They received their theoretical training at S7 Technics’ training centre as well as hands-on experience at Boeing’s production facility in Seattle, WA, the USA. The S7 Technics training centre added the Boeing 737 MAX capability to its EASA Part 147 license in February 2018 and prepared the first group of B1+B2 category technicians last spring.
