As one of the top five engine maintenance providers worldwide, MTU Maintenance is also the market leader for MRO work on the V2500 engine. The company has a market share of 37 percent and has completed close to 4,000 shop visits. Turkish Atlasglobal was established as Atlasjet Airlines in 2001 and offers sched-uled flights to destinations in Turkey as well as Asia, Middle East and Europe.
