BA has announced a multi-million pound investment in its engineering maintenance facility at Cardiff Airport. The planned investment will expand one of three existing maintenance bays at British Airways Maintenance Cardiff (BAMC) to facilitate larger long-haul A350 aircraft.

When completed, BAMC will go from one to two fully flexible bays, which will allow more complex and detailed maintenance work to be completed. The planned work will help increase the airline’s efficiency across maintenance operations as the engineering base will be able to facilitate more aircraft types. Currently, the base can only serve Boeing 777 and 787 aircraft types.
This expansion, part of the airline’s £7 billion transformation investment, will get underway in 2025 and is expected to be completed by 2026. The project underscores the airline’s commitment to the future of its Cardiff-based operations – which employs 480 colleagues, supporting the Welsh economy.
