As you may have heard or read in the media, a company called Aircraft Overhaul Solutions Ireland Ltd. (AOS) was formed earlier this month with the intention of purchasing plant from SR Technics who are pulling out of Dublin. As an ex-Avionics Engineer who worked in Aer Lingus Maintenance and Engineering (M&E) and lived the ugly transition to TEAM Aer Lingus, I have a particular grá for what was Aer Lingus M&E. It's a shame that a large employer who essentially bought the assets of what was once a semi-state company is now pulling out leaving over 1,000 redundancies in its wake.
I sincerely wish Eamon Russell, Sean et. al. in AOS the very best of luck with their plans to buy the Dublin assets of SR Technics and establish as a viable aircraft maintenance company. Whether SR Technics will be willing to sell their assets to a start-up competitor is another issue.
No matter what happens, I wish all my ex-colleagues the best of luck for the future.
