Strata Manufacturing PJSC (Strata), the Al Ain based aerostructures facility wholly owned by Mubadala, has celebrated the delivery of it’s first four fully assembled Airbus A330 ailerons during a ceremony at Airbus’ Bremen facility in Germany.
This delivery marks a significant turning point in Strata’s relationship with Airbus SAS, elevating the company to a ‘tier-one’ or direct supplier to Airbus for A330 assembled ailerons. It is also an important step for Strata towards becoming a competitive and reliable supplier to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) for primary structures of increasing complexity.
Designed to control roll and facilitate turning, the new critical wing structures will be mounted onto an A330 aircraft scheduled for delivery to Etihad Airways, in May.
Commenting on this historical milestone, Badr Al Olama, CEO of Strata, said:
“Our commitment and our growing partnership with Airbus is an accomplishment for Strata and Abu Dhabi. Strata’s dedication to continuous improvement has been reaffirmed by our ability to manufacture complex and technologically advanced primary parts, and this further enhances our credibility in the industry, positioning us as a key contender on the next generation of aircraft. Our first package of Airbus ailerons being installed onto a new Etihad Airways aircraft makes this a particularly proud moment both for Strata and our nation, showcasing the UAE’s growing role in the global aerospace industry.”
