FAQ

Our hot-dip galvanised steel frames last in excess of 30 years. The quality fabric has a life expectancy of up to 25 years depending on environmental conditions.

We offer a 25-year steel and 10-year single-skin PVC warranty.

Yes. Rubb MRO hangars can be relocated, expanded, or dismantled to adapt to changing logistical needs.

Rubb MRO hangars can exceed spans of 100m. Due to their modular design, they can reach any length.

MRO hangars typically require a custom-designed vertical lifting or sliding door. Our hangar doors are supplied by ASSA ABLOY Megadoor and Jewers Doors, chosen for their high performance and maintenance options.

ICAO Codes classify aircraft hangar and runway requirements based on aircraft size:

  • Code C: Aircraft with wingspans between 24m and 36m, such as the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320.
  • Code D: Aircraft with wingspans between 36m and 52m, including the Boeing 757 and 767.

Code C and Code D hangars are designed to accommodate:

  • Narrow-body aircraft: Boeing 737, Airbus A320
  • Medium-sized aircraft: Boeing 757, Boeing 767

The Rubb team who worked on site were absolutely first class. The first steel went in the ground on December 14 and by May 19 we were able to introduce the first aircraft into the hangar.

Brendan McConnellogue, Head of Maintenance
easyJet

The Rubb hangar is ideal for cases where we work in a single bay: e.g. paint hangars or single bay large body aircraft storage hangars. The main needs that the hangar has helped us meet are lower costs, fast construction and the need for a flexible location.

Murat Sözer, Mechanical Works Chief
Turkish Technic

The speed and flexibility of the Rubb hangar construction has enabled the airport to develop new hangarage and respond quickly to a key customer’s requirements. This has been critical in order for business to be undertaken in a competitive marketplace.
