SAS AIRLINES-CUSTOMER STORY.

The Story

The COVID-19 pandemic had a profound impact on global supply chains, with the aviation industry being one of the hardest hit, especially in the early stages. The sudden halt in air travel led to an unprecedented grounding of 62% of passenger planes, creating significant challenges for airlines. Grounding a fleet is a complex process that requires careful attention to detail, particularly in protecting aircraft engines from environmental factors to prevent major issues when they are not in use.

This situation forced many airlines to confront massive revenue losses, flight cancellations, and workforce reductions.In response to these challenges, companies like CNE Engineering stepped in with innovative solutions. Leveraging their expertise in large-scale 3D printing, they quickly developed protective jet engine covers for airlines such as SAS (Scandinavian Airlines).

This collaboration not only showcased the adaptability of the aviation industry but also highlighted the importance of technology and creative problem-solving in overcoming unprecedented crises. As the sector continues to recover, these experiences will likely inform future strategies for resilience and adaptability in the face of similar challenges.
