"Currently, there are two Boeing 737-500 aircraft at the enterprise, they are being repaired and painted now," the Ukrainian Military Pages portal said on February 11.

As part of cooperation with Boeing Co., SE Plant 410 CA will provide aircraft paint services to the Boeing 737 family. The enterprise will use own assets and investment, it said.

After completion of specialist training and licensing, the enterprise will significantly expand its capabilities.

In August 2017, the company announced it planned to service five Boeing 737 aircraft per year with a gradual increase to 40 aircraft in 2024.

After Ukraine's Cabinet of Ministers decided to accelerate the reform of state-run Ukroboronprom Concern's aviation cluster, SE Plant 410 CA underwent incorporation, handled by the Concern.

As part of this move, modern Western management systems were introduced at the enterprises, through their reorganization into public joint-stock companies that are wholly owned by the state.
