MTU Maintenance Berlin-Brandenburg has received German aviation authority (LBA) approval for the CFM56-7B engine and inducted the first engine of this type on July 21. It is now the third facility within the MTU Maintenance network capable of servicing this engine type and plans to ramp up to at least 50 engines per year in the coming years.
“The CFM56-7B engine will be a key program for the next decade,” says Michael Schreyögg, Chief Program Officer, MTU Aero Engines. “This introduction will increase the flexibility within our network to serve customer needs, builds on synergies within MTU Maintenance, and ensures volume for our facility in Berlin-Brandenburg.”
