THE Shannon-based Transaero aircraft maintenance firm has emerged from High Court protection after a three-month period of examinership succeeded in saving the jobs of 230 employees and 40 contract workers. Congratulating the company’s management and staff, local Fine Gael Senator Tony Mulcahy said it was a hugely positive story as it secured the future of a significant aircraft maintenance facility but also gave confidence to other operators considering investment in Shannon. “It is important that Transaero’s customers and suppliers are also acknowledged for their support for the company. This important Shannon operation can move forward with confidence and I am particularly delighted that job security has now been confirmed.”
