To achieve this goal, they have opened a dedicated on-site service facility in Berlin Brandenburg.
22 October 2021: MTU Maintenance has recently opened a dedicated on-site service facility in Berlin Brandenburg. With this they cim to become the number one on-site and near wing engine service provider in Europe. Opening next month, this new facility will house quick-turn engine bays and be a base for a dedicated on-site and AOG team for CF34-8/-10 and CFM56-7B. It will expand to service CFM56-5B and V2500 engines by next year. This new facility is in close proximity to MTU Maintenance Berlin-Brandenburg in Ludwigsfelde. By doing this they plan to carry our smaller workscopes in dedicated bays to reduce shop visit complexity and to ensure lean processes. The workscopes provided will range from small repairs up to hot section workscopes.
Michael Schreyögg, Chief Program Officer, MTU Aero Engines said, “We made the strategic decision to increase our presence and support in Europe to capture demand post COVID-19. On-site support as a way of prolonging time on-wing and keeping airlines flying has been key to airlines throughout the pandemic. We expect this trend to continue in years to come and are ensuring we are available to customers around the clock – providing the technical expertise and high quality they have come to expect from MTU.”
This on-site service center location was strategically chosen to benefit from the extensive experience and synergies within the MTU Maintenance network.
André Sinanian, Managing Director and Senior Vice President, MTU Maintenance Berlin-Brandenburg said, “At MTU Maintenance Berlin-Brandenburg, we carry out hundreds of on-site and field service events for CF34 and Pratt & Whitney Canada engines as well as for LM series aeroderivative industrial gas turbines each year. Our technical expertise is second to none and we look forward to expanding our capabilities with this new site.”
With on-site and AOG teams based in the Americas, Europe and Asia, and over 120 authority approvals, MTU’s engine experts provide a wide range of on-site, near-wing and quick turn engine services for the largest engine portfolio worldwide. Workscopes range from borescope inspections all the way up to module swaps, and, should an upgrade become necessary, MTU can take care of all and any additional engine needs within its MRO network of shops. Through its leasing arm, MTU Maintenance Lease Services B.V. in Amsterdam, MTU can provide spare engines and extensive material solutions as required.
