Three Airbus jets identified as damaged in Gamco fire
At least three Airbus aircraft were suffered damage in yesterday’s fire at Middle East overhaul firm Gulf Air Maintenance (Gamco), which started in an Airbus A300 said to belong to Qatar Airways.
Emerging details indicate that the effects of the fire at Gamco’s Abu Dhabi facility were more severe than initially indicated, with jets belonging to Kingfisher Airlines and Air Mauritius confirmed as being affected.
India’s Kingfisher Airlines says that it had an Airbus A320 in the same hangar awaiting a C1-check and installation of in-flight entertainment systems. A spokesman for the carrier says that the International Aero Engines V2500-powered twin-jet, which is owned by lessor AerCap and is less than two years old, escaped with “little damage” although it was subjected to “falling debris”.
