Structural repair is the main work. The team repairs and overhauls parts made from sheet metal and fibre composites. It also handles damage that goes beyond manual limits. Parts include nacelles such as those for the GE90 and Trent 7000, thrust reversers, radomes, cowlings and flight control surfaces. The capability list shows work on aircraft such as the A300-600, Boeing 757-200, Boeing 767-300 and Boeing 777F.

Non-destructive testing is done in the workshop or at the customer site. Level II technicians carry out the checks. Both planned and ad hoc inspections are offered.

The cabin team repairs and refurbishes seats, interior panels, galleys, toilets and storage areas. It also applies leather, decorative foils and veneers. Work can be done in the workshop, at the customer or on the aircraft, using mobile experts.

The Leipzig site has run for 10 years, with specialists from more than 10 nations. A new 6,000 square metre hall is due by the end of 2026. It will have a 5 ton crane to handle large parts, such as a GE90 thrust reverser over 4 metres wide, or flaps up to 9 metres long. A large paint shop for big components is also planned. The company works with Earth and Flight Composites Training and Consultancy, which runs composite repair training inside the facility.
