Ethiopian Airlines, UTD Aviation Solutions & AFRAA sign MoU

 Ethiopian Airlines MRO, UTD Aviation Solutions and the African Airlines Association (AFRAA) have signed a tripartite Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to work together on Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) services in pursuance of The Brown Condor Initiative (BCI). The signing ceremony took place at Ethiopian Airlines headquarters in Addis Ababa in Ethiopia. The Brown Condor Initiative (BCI) is a joint initiative that was conceptualised in 2020 and officially launched by UTD Aviation Solutions and AFRAA in May 2021. The BCI project is aimed at providing a platform for AFRAA members with Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (MRO) facilities to relieve the USA MRO workforce crunch in terms of both facilities and manpower constraints, as well as support other airlines from the USA in MRO services and aircraft spares.


Speaking at the signing ceremony, Abdérahmane Berthé, AFRAA secretary general remarked, "This signing ceremony with Ethiopian Airlines is a significant milestone in the Brown Condor project. We express our appreciation to Ethiopian Airlines as the first African airline to sign the MoU that will operationalise the objectives of this robust project." "For two years, as part of the industry recovery measures at AFRAA, we have been working with partners to bring solutions to our members to reduce costs or increase revenues. We look forward to onboard other AFRAA airlines with EASA or FAA Certified MRO capabilities for this project. Our joint efforts reflect a paradigm shift in the MRO industry." Berthé added.
