World’s largest airline hangar ready for service  
September 08 (UNI)
  

BANGKOK, SEPT 7:  Thai Airways International (Thai) began trial for the world’s largest commercial airline hangar on Wednesday at Suvarnabhumi Airport. This facility, executives hope, will ensure service for aircraft of various sizes in the years to come.
Permanent secretary for transport and chairman of the Thai board Wanchai Sarathulthat supervised the trial run, as maintenance workers brought a Boeing 747-400 into the hangar.


The purpose of Wednesday’s test was to ensure if equipment involved with repair and maintenance work was operational, ahead of Suvarnabhumi airport’s grand opening on September 28.


Wanchai said everything went smoothly and the new facility was ready to meet modern aviation demands.


The hangar can simultaneously service three airbus A380s, which will be the world’s largest passenger jet once it enters service.


The hangar meets International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) standards, according to wing commander supoch srisod, vice-president of Thai’s line and light maintenance department.


The hangar which is 35 metres tall, 90 metres wide and 270 metres long, is made of steel and weighs a total of 10,000 tonne, which is heavier than Eiffel Tower in Paris at 7,000 tonne.


The total area for aircraft service is 27,000 square metres. The hangar that cost 1.2 billion baht, employs 1,500 maintenance operators.
