Aircraft maintenance specialist Dublin Aerospace is hiring workers for its operations in the capital and Co Meath.
The Dublin Airport-based business recently began overhauling aircraft landing gear at a new base in Ashbourne, Co Meath.
The company confirmed at the plant’s official opening on Tuesday that it was seeking to recruit electricians, technicians/mechanics, painters and other workers.
Dublin Aerospace invested €12 million in the Ashbourne facility, aided by State development agency, Enterprise Ireland.
Conor McCarthy, chief executive, remarked that Dublin Aerospace began “in adversity” in 2009 during the global financial crisis.
“We have managed to grow, compete profitably, and succeed ever since,” he said.
The business began with 18 staff and now employs more than 500 across Dublin Airport, Ashbourne and Exeter in England, where it bought part of Flybe’s maintenance business last year.
Mr McCarthy said the Co Meath operation was a testament to proficiency of Dublin Aerospace’s workers.
The plant will employ 150 people once it is fully up and running. Specialising in landing gear for Airbus A320s and Boeing 737s, some of the most commonly used aircraft in the world, it has scope for up to 350 individual overhauls a-year.
Executive director of Enterprise Ireland Stephen Creaner described the business as an “incredible” success.
“Even during the pandemic, when the aviation sector was badly hit, Dublin Aerospace continued to deliver on its ambitions,” he said.
He confirmed that Enterprise Ireland continued to work closely with the company as it added customers from Europe, the Middle East, the US, Africa and Russia.
Tánaiste Leo Varadkar acknowledged that air travel was one of the businesses worst hit by Covid-19.
“The Government has tried to help aviation firms get through it with wage subsidies and rates waivers,” he said.
