Abu Dhabi: Strata Manufacturing, the advanced composite aero structures manufacturing facility wholly owned by Mubadala Development Company, has announced the completion of the First Article Inspection (FAI) of Aileron and Flap Track Fairing (FTF) shipsets for the Airbus A330neo.
In 2015, Strata was awarded the sole supplier contract to provide ailerons to Airbus for the A330 and A330neo. The contract named Strata as the single source supplier of ailerons to Airbus for its A330 family of aircraft. The successful delivery of the first Aileron and FTF for the A330neo were completed ahead of schedule, Strata said in a statement.
The Strata Aileron programme accounted for 26 per cent of the company’s total revenue by the end of the second quarter this year, which reached $52.2 million (Dh192 million) compared to $39.2 million during the second quarter last year.
Saab business unit
Strata also said that it has delivered its first shipset of A350—1000 Flap Support Fairings, from its contract with Saab, to Airbus.
The first shipset was delivered through Saab business unit Saab Aerostructures to Airbus, following the Strata-Saab announcement made in June last year during the Paris air show further, according to the company.
“The delivery of the latest shipsets reinforces our commitment to developing a manufacturing hub in Abu Dhabi for the global aerospace industry. We are proud to work in collaboration with our strategic partners to deliver high quality products to Airbus,” Badr Al Olama, CEO of Strata, said.
