easyJet, Flughafengesellschaft Berlin Brandenburg (FBB) and the Brandenburg state government have celebrated the opening of the easyJet maintenance hangar at Berlin Brandenburg Willy Brandt Airport (BER).
The new hangar, which started construction in September 2021, will provide easyJet with the capacity needed to ensure it can operate in the most efficient, safe and competitive way. The project was supported by the Wirtschaftsförderung Brandenburg as well as easyJet's chosen partner MRO Facilities, who managed the design and construction to deliver market-leading operational performance.
The maintenance hangar was built in accordance with the German Building Energy Act Gebäudeenergiegesetz, GEG) and as such meets the requirements for energy-efficient construction in the EU. More than 100 easyJet employees will be responsible at the new facility in BER for the supervision and management of aircraft maintenance activities of the easyJet Europe-fleet, which currently comprises 135 aircraft (incl. eight A320neo and five A321neo aircraft). This will further improve the efficiency of operational processes and save maintenance costs in the long-term.
easyJet continues to operate its aircraft as efficiently as possible, being one of the largest single-brand operators of A320neo-family aircraft in Europe and is always looking for further efficiency improvements to reduce fuel burn and therefore carbon emissions.
