“We opened our facility just weeks ago and I’m delighted that we have already gained interest from operators in the region and also, in that short time, to have reached this agreement with Mandarin Airlines,†said Dunlop Aircraft Tyres’ chairman, Ian Edmondson.
“The facility enables airlines to return tyres for retreading at an operation that is efficient and that is ideally located for quick and easy shipping of tyres to and from the region.â€Â
