Dublin Aerospace, a new start-up MRO, plans to open this month on the site vacated by SR Technics at Dublin Airport. "We knew SR Technics had given up trying to sell the company as a going concern and was starting to sell-off their assets and tooling. So we put a group of investors together and created a business plan which, we felt, would make this business relevant in the current environment," said Connor McCarthy, executive chairman of Dublin Aerospace.rnAs a result, Dublin Aerospace was established in March 2009, with the sole intention of restarting an MRO business at Dublin Airport. The company,rnwhose shareholders include (Irish-government-owned) Enterprise Ireland, Air Asia founder Tony Fernandez, and EADS Airbus, completed the purchase of equipment and tooling from SR Technics in August and signed leases for hangar and workshop facilities on Sept. 3.
