MTU Maintenance has celebrated the delivery of its 4,000th CF6 engine, a CF6-80C2 from customer Air Transport International, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Air Transport Services Group, Inc. The shop visit was performed by MTU Maintenance’s North American branch in Vancouver.
MTU Maintenance has been supporting the CF6 for four decades, starting with CF6-50 in 1982. The CF6-80C2 version was introduced in its portfolio in 1989 and counts for more than half of shop visits performed thus far. While MTU stopped servicing the CF6-50 in 2020, the company remains committed to the CF6-80C2 as MTU also provides MRO services for the military variant of the engine, the F138.
