MTU Maintenance Zhuhai completes 2,000th engine shop visit

MTU Maintenance Zhuhai, a 50/50 joint venture between Germany’s engine manufacturer MTU Aero Engines and China Southern Air Holding Company, has completed its 2,000th engine shop visit, a V2500-A5 owned by China Southern Airlines. Set up just 15 years ago, MTU Maintenance Zhuhai has become China’s largest maintenance shop. MTU Maintenance Zhuhai is specialized in servicing the CFM56 and V2500 narrowbody engine families. In fact, the shop completed its 1,000th CFM56 engine visit earlier this year. Demand for such engine services is increasing rapidly, and MTU Maintenance Zhuhai’s revenue doubled in the past five years alone. With a capacity for up to 300 shop visits a year, MTU Maintenance Zhuhai is prepared for and looking forward to meeting upcoming demand – both within Asia and around the world.
