MTU Maintenance group released that in the first three months of this year, new contracts worth around 400 million euros were signed. One of the largest was awarded by Atlas Air. The U.S. carrier had started to send the CF6-50 and CF6-80 engines powering its Boeing 747 fleet to MTU Maintenance Hannover for maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) back in 1999. Now the existing contract was expanded to include additional engines and renewed to run through 2020. MTU Maintenance Berlin-Brandenburg’s CF34 MRO team, too, succeeded in securing some attractive deals.
Said Dr. Stefan Weingartner: "This strong order intake is clear evidence of the re-covery of the market and of the trust our customers place in our capabilities. It will make a major contribution to securing jobs at Hannover and Ludwigsfelde." MTU Aero Engines’ President and CEO Commercial Maintenance was particularly pleased to note that the company had managed to add 15 new airlines and operators to its customer base in the first three months.
