Finnair Plc Press release Finnair mechanic wins MCW Award
The Maintenance Cost Workshop (MCW), organised annually by the aircraft
manufacturer Embraer, has awarded a prize for the best proposal to reduce
aircraft maintenance costs. Finnair Flight Mechanic Lauri Levón was the winner
of the award. This year the conference was held on October 25-30 in São Paulo,
Brazil.
"My proposal related the floor structure of the cargo hold. A small change
means significant savings in material costs and less working time," says Levón.
The purpose of the competition is to disseminate good experiences and results
and to find new ideas to minimise maintenance costs and the time spent on
maintenance. The proposals were assessed on the basis of their productivity and
applicability.
