MTU Maintenance celebrates 1,500th CF6-80 engine overhaul

MTU Maintenance, an independent maintenance provider for commercial aircraft engines, has completed the 1,500th overhaul of a General Electric CF6-80 engine. The engine was delivered to U.S. based operator US Airways with whom MTU is celebrating a 20-year business partnership this year. “We are very happy to be sharing this special moment with one of our longest and closest customers,” said Dr. Stefan Weingartner, President Commercial Maintenance at MTU Aero Engines. “The maintenance of the CF6-80 is one of our key services. The engine has been overhauled in Hannover, MTU’s first maintenance location and centre of competence for medium to large aircraft engines, for almost 25 years. We are very confident that we will continue our success with this engine over the next years.”
