MAAS Aviation

MAAS Aviation is an aircraft painting and exterior coatings company with its head office in Dublin, Ireland. It runs paint shops in the Netherlands, Germany, Lithuania and the United States. The company says it delivers OEM standard quality across this network.

The group lists thirteen narrowbody paint shops with capacity to paint 580 aircraft a year. Its sites include Mobile in Alabama, Maastricht and Woensdrecht in the Netherlands, Hamburg in Germany and Kaunas in Lithuania. A business development office in Singapore covers Asia-Pacific and Australia. The company says it is certified to EN9100, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001.

MAAS serves every part of the aviation industry. For airlines, it paints liveries and says it has decades of experience in getting the finish right. For lessors, it aims to give the best paint finish in the shortest time, so aircraft spend less time out of service during transitions. For MROs, it applies OEM-qualified skills to repaints and works alongside them to return many aircraft types ready to fly across Europe and the US.

Aircraft makers are another key group. The company paints new aircraft for OEMs and offers OEM-qualified finishing and re-finishing. A case study notes more than ten years of OEM exterior finishing and marking work for Airbus. Recent news also mentions an extended aircraft painting programme with easyJet.

MAAS works with partners to run aircraft asset redelivery centres, which combine painting with other specialist work. It also paints business and VIP aircraft, from bold designs to luxury super-white finishes.

The company talks about caring for the environment. It says it aims to pioneer friendly practices in its sector and ties its ESG policies to its daily work. Its team is a large part of its success. It is hiring aircraft spray painters for sites in Germany, Lithuania and the Netherlands. The jobs offer paid leave, on-the-job training, health and pension schemes, and free accommodation and transport. Applicants must already be able to work in the European Union.

Customers can use a slot enquiry form to book painting time. The form asks for aircraft type, number of aircraft and project dates. The company also exhibits at MRO Europe.
