MTU Maintenance celebrates 25,000 shop visits
All Nippon Airways, Japan's largest airline, in attendance as guest of honor
MTU Maintenance celebrates a historic milestone: the global leader in customized maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services for aero engines has completed 25,000 shop visits network-wide. To date, MTU Maintenance Hannover, the group's first and oldest facility, has conducted more than 40 percent of the above shop-visit figure.
In turn, the 25,000th engine, a CF6-80C2 from All Nippon Airways (ANA), was also overhauled at MTU Maintenance Hannover. MTU leadership, employees and representatives from ANA came together to mark the occasion during a ceremonial handover. Additionally, the engine was the 300th ANA engine to leave an MTU shop in the two companies' 15-year relationship.
Addressing the crowd in the state-of-the-art MRO facility, Yukifumi Ueda, VP and GM Engine, Component and Supply Chain at All Nippon Airways said the airline and MTU have a tried and true relationship which, beyond maintaining the CF6-80C2, also includes the CFM56 at MTU Maintenance Zhuhai, as well as accessory repair at MTU Maintenance Canada.
"To celebrate this anniversary in MTU history with everyone is an honor," says Ueda. "MTU Maintenance is a trusted partner of ours and always goes the extra mile when we need it."
Michael Schreyögg, Chief Program Officer at MTU Aero Engines, adds, "by all measures, this is a huge collective success by the MTU group, but what is truly remarkable is our people's commitment to strive daily for excellence. It is what ensures MTU Maintenance's unremitting strength as an industry player, our customers' trust in the work we deliver and our resiliency during times of adversity. For that, I thank them."
MTU Maintenance's MRO portfolio, the industry's largest, additionally consists of the V2500, CF34 and GE90-110/115B, along with new generation engines such as Pratt & Whitney's GTFTM and CFMI's LEAP engines, as well as a series of business jet and helicopter engines. In total, the company services over 30 engine models, including GE Aerospace's LM-series industrial gas turbines under the MTU Power brand.
