Revolutionizing Aircraft Maintenance with IglooMX® Inflatable Shelters

Aircraft maintenance is a critical aspect of aviation operations, and finding innovative solutions to save time, and money, and protect personnel is paramount. Have you ever heard of an inflatable shelter, especially the groundbreaking IglooMX® developed in collaboration with Airbus by JB Roche? This ingenious inflatable aircraft shelter offers a practical and cost-effective alternative to traditional maintenance hangars.

Unveiling the IglooMX®: A Game-Changer in Aviation Maintenance

The IglooMX® stands out for its portability, making it suitable for deployment anywhere in the world. It’s designed for quick and effortless installation, making it a versatile choice for global maintenance operations, especially in extreme temperature conditions that challenge safe and comfortable working environments. It’s not just a shelter; it’s a glimpse into the future of aviation.

Unlocking the Potential of Inflatable Shelters

Our comprehensive range of inflatable aircraft shelters ensures that you can work on the apron regardless of the weather conditions. Depending on your needs, you can choose from innovative Engine Change Shelters to expansive Fuselage MX shelters capable of repairing various components, from windows to composite materials, door mechanisms, and decals. Our product portfolio even caters to long-range airliners like the B777 and A380, with optional features including lighting, industrial ventilation, heating, and air conditioning.

The Benefits of IglooMX® Inflatable Shelters: Time, Money, and Safety

  • Time-Saving: The IglooMX® is engineered to save you valuable time, particularly during unplanned engine repairs. Instead of waiting for perfect weather conditions and hangar availability, this inflatable marvel can be swiftly transported to any location. Sold as a kit that includes the inflatable dome tent, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, it can be quickly set up around an engine and secured with ballast, enabling efficient operations in adverse weather and reducing weather-related delays.

  • Cost-Efficiency: In challenging circumstances, maintenance operations may face delays and extensions, leading to prolonged aircraft downtime. With an inflatable aircraft shelter, you can expand hangar availability, increase profitability, and work on multiple planes simultaneously, making maintenance operations more efficient.

  • Safety: Inflatable shelters excel in extreme weather conditions, providing a safe working environment for maintenance crews. Alaska Airlines, for instance, praised the IglooMX® for saving their maintenance crews from harsh weather conditions during an emergency repair operation in Cordova, Alaska.

The Future of Aircraft Maintenance

In summary, the IglooMX® represents a revolutionary approach to aircraft maintenance and repair. Industry leaders have already embraced it to transform their practices, and partnering with inflatable aircraft hangars can elevate your company to the same level of excellence.
