Bounce back

摘要

It was back in December 2004 that MRO Management attended a Turkish Technic press conference at Sabiha Goekcen International Airport to mark the launch of the Havacilik Bakim Onarim ve Modifikasyon Merkezi (HABOM), or Aircraft Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul Center. At that time, it was scheduled to be up and running in 2007. Economic downturns, a joint venture with ST Aerospace that fell through and difficulties with the terrain were the main causes of the delays that saw construction eventually start in March 2010. It was formally opened in July 2014, although there had been a previous soft opening.
