In 2018, Delta TechOps continued to invest in and grow its Maintenance Repair and Overhaul business, resulting in record-breaking financial growth, expanded capabilities, increased work with new partners and continued work with current partners. As the largest aviation maintenance group in North America, Delta TechOps highly skilled workforce of over 10,000 technicians, engineers and other support employees provide full-service maintenance to more than 850 Delta aircraft and their engines as well as maintenance services to more than 150 other operators, cargo operators and the Military & Government, through the airline’s MRO business.
Looking forward to 2019, Delta TechOps will open the largest test cell, which will be capable of safely running a mounted, stationary engine at full power with 150,000 pounds of thrust. Through expanded capabilities and new facilities, Delta expects to grow the top line of the MRO business by US$1 billion a year in the next five years.
