Avia Prime Group, one of the leading organizations for aircraft maintenance in Europe, consisting of three eminent companies including JAT Tehnika, organized a ceremony to mark the spectacular milestone in the Boeing 767-300 conversion, which is done for the first time in Europe.
The Israeli ambassador to Serbia, Yahel Vilan, said that he is very proud of the first conversion on European soil and of the arrival of the Israeli aerospace industry in Serbia, which is the leading company in the world.
The Polish ambassador to Serbia, Rafal Perl, said that Belgrade became the first facility in this part of the world to provide this type of service. He also said that he is pleased that today we celebrate not only the opening of a new chapter in the company’s history and the expansion of the plant in Serbia, but also new investments and new jobs.
Shmuel Kuzi, executive vice president and general manager of the aviation division of Israel Aerospace Industry, said “that this place is unique and that he appreciates it because he saw a job well done, but that an even bigger challenge is coming because his next goal is an even bigger wide-body aircraft.”
This center has a huge capacity, since it is located at the center of air routes from Europe to the Middle East, to provide adequate service in the cargo sector at comparative prices to interested airlines, and thus contribute to the development of this segment of the aviation industry in Serbia and the region.
