Direct Maintenance to open new line maintenance stations in Frankfurt and Munich

©Direct Maintenance

Direct Maintenance, a certified line maintenance service provider, part of Magnetic MRO, has announced the recent expansion within Germany with scheduled opening of two new line maintenance stations in Frankfurt and Munich airports.

Two new stations in Germany are the latest developments since the company began operating at Cologne-Bonn airport in July 1, 2021. Line maintenance stations will be providing line maintenance services for a variety of narrow- and wide-body aircraft types, including B787, A350, B777, A330 and A320 aircraft. 

“This year, we have been and are still busy working out our future strategic plans on developing and growing Direct Maintenance in Germany and beyond. We are confident because of the ongoing customer service success our team delivers to our clients, staged re-emerging post-pandemic flights and changes in the German market, thus we are proactively expanding within the region. Also, we will continue to support our ongoing investments in our existing stations, extending our capabilities to serve more aircraft types and airlines across a network of stations. Next to Germany, we do have more and other plans across Europe and Africa, too – and we are looking forward to announcing further expansion in the following months,” shared Jacco Klerk, CEO & Managing Director at Direct Maintenance.
