1When Abu Dhabi Aircraft Technologies needed a new hangar to service the brand new A380 aircraft, they called the aviation experts at Holmes Consulting. With a wingspan of over 79 metres and a height of 25 metres, this is a seriously large maintenance shed! The state of the art hangar is one of the most advanced anywhere in the world, with a clever design that enabled the hangar to be put into use in stages, far earlier than the client initially envisaged. With an administrative facility and maintenance bays built into the design, this is a hangar that befits the awesome A380s it houses.
