Airbus A350 Base Maintenance + Composite Heavy Structural Repair (AUH)
A350-1000 / A350-900 base maintenance with full composite-fuselage structural repair authority.
Full base-maintenance scope on the Airbus A350-900 and A350-1000, including IL/EL checks, structural inspections, composite primary-structure repair, landing-gear swap-out, cabin deep-clean, hydraulic and pneumatic system tasks, and pre-service test flight support. Etihad Engineering operates one of the most extensive composite repair backshops in the Middle East, with dedicated CFRP autoclave capability — critical for A350 operators where over half the airframe is carbon-fibre primary structure. The widebody hangar bays at AUH accommodate concurrent A350 + A380 + 787 heavy maintenance, allowing operators with mixed fleets to consolidate down-time at a single facility.
