MTU Maintenance Hannover has inaugurated its extensive plant expansion with an opening ceremony. The new extension consists of a workshop for engine maintenance and a modern office building. The construction time was about two years in each case. Construction of the factory hall began in autumn 2019. MTU gradually ramped up operations from November 2021 to April 2022. Ground-breaking for the office building took place in March 2020 and first employees moved in during March 2022, the expansion having become necessary because of the growing demand for engine maintenance.
“This expansion will allow the Hannover site to continue its decades-long success story and offer its customers first-class MRO services”, said Michael Schreyögg, Chief Program Officer of MTU Aero Engines. “The new buildings at the site exemplify how impulses emanate from Hannover throughout the entire MRO network of MTU”.
Commencing operations in 1979, the Hannover site is the heart of MTU Maintenance. In the immediate vicinity of Hannover-Langenhagen Airport, mainly larger engines are maintained; these include the GE90, which powers the Boeing 777 and the PW1100G-JM, which is used on the Airbus A320neo family.
