VEM Delivers B-747 to Air Atlanta Icelandic

(Rio de Janeiro, July, 2008) -- With the delivery of one more B-747 widebody, in this particular event, to Air Atlanta Icelandic, VEM Maintenance and Engineering reaffirms to the market that offering technical competence along with competitive prices, it compensates for airlines from anywhere in the world to send their airplanes for maintenance services at VEM facilities, in Brazil.

Crossing the Atlantic Ocean, over 10,000 kilometers away, Air Atlanta Icelandic arrived at VEM's hangars, in Rio de Janeiro, on March 19, 2008, and, on May 18, 2008, the B747-230B (TF-ARM) aircraft was delivered to the company, after performing structural repairs to the pylons, as well as other structural services requested during the course of the original work order completion.

Company engineers constantly accompanied the services performed by VEM, that dedicated a large team of technicians and engineers specifically to this job, in order to reduce the plane's downtime to an absolute minimum. Upon receiving the aircraft, Air Atlanta Icelandic expressed great satisfaction with the technical quality of VEM's team, which is certified for B747 aircraft (ANAC/FAA/EASA) for many years.

VEM's Marketing and Sales Vice-President, Nestor Koch, expressed how pleased the company was to receive the airplane from Iceland: "We have performed services for airlines from many different countries, such as the Ukraine, Thailand, India, Spain and Portugal and it is always gratifying to receive an airplane from a different country, for the first time, because it proves that nor only the domestic market (where all airlines are our Customers) but also several international airlines trust VEM, technically, besides that our prices are internationally competitive", he ends.
