Portuguese MRO firm Mesa to service Global A380

Portuguese maintenance firm Mesa is to carry out the servicing of UK start-up Global Airlines’ first Airbus A380 following its ferry flight to Beja.
The aircraft arrived from Dresden, where it had undergone heavy maintenance, on 17 January.

Mesa, which has facilities at Lisbon as well as Beja, says it will undertake “routine” maintenance on the A380 along with cabin improvements to prepare the jet for commercial operations.

It adds that it will assist with applying the would-be carrier’s “unique livery” to the aircraft’s fuselage.
