SOAR Performs Recovery in Ohio
Newport Beach, California – January 9, 2012– Source One Aircraft Repair (SOAR) recovered a MD83, within eight hours of arrival on-site, after it slid off the icy Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport taxiway following its safe landing January 2.
The airplane slid off the icy pavement and into frozen and muddy turf as it turned while taxing back to the terminal. The event resulted in the nose and left main landing gears becoming buried up to the axle and closure of the single-runway Youngstown airport. SOAR was immediately notified by the airline Monday night and was on site, with a recovery crew, early Tuesday.
SOAR performed the field recovery in fifteen-degree temperatures, and under the urgency to re-open the Youngstown airport. Due to extensive field recovery experience, SOAR immediately provided a plan and coordinated its resources with the airline and the local National Guard. The aircraft was promptly recovered from field to taxiway within eight hours and the event provided the Guard a valuable training opportunity.
Founded by a core group of ex-OEM AOG and Recovery and Modification Services (RAMS)-trained professionals, SOAR is an AOG services company with dedicated global partners participating in the SOAR Network. Participating partners can be brought together and positioned more quickly to respond to aircraft incidents.
