FL Technics is strengthening its presence in the Americas with a new aircraft maintenance hangar in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. The facility is set to open in October 2025 and will provide comprehensive base maintenance services for Airbus A320 and Boeing B737 aircraft.
The 52,000 m² complex is being developed in three phases. The first phase, already 50% complete, will feature a 20,000 m² hangar with five maintenance bays and various support workshops, including sheet metal, composite, paint and interior capabilities. The second phase will expand the facility to 12 bays, while the final phase will extend it to 20, making Punta Cana a key MRO hub in the region.
FL Technics has already secured key personnel and is actively recruiting to complete the team. The company is also in the process of obtaining certifications from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Instituto Dominicano De Aviación Civil (IDAC).
CEO Zilvinas Lapinskas highlighted that this investment builds upon FL Technics’ existing regional operations and aims to strengthen partnerships with local airlines. Deputy CEO for Base Maintenance, Juozas Lapeika, emphasised that the facility would enhance fleet reliability and operational efficiency for airlines in the Americas.
By incorporating modern aircraft lifecycle management solutions, FL Technics’ expansion is set to transform aircraft maintenance services in the region, reinforcing its global standing in aviation technical support.
