Magnetic MRO, part of the Magnetic Group and a provider of aircraft maintenance services, has commenced the construction of a new maintenance facility in collaboration with Tallinn Airport. The development marks a significant strategic step to reinforce the company's operational centre in Europe. Situated in the southern part of the growing Airport City business district, the €14 million project will feature three modern hangars covering a total area of 10,000 m². These hangars are designed to service narrow-body aircraft and are set to be completed by the final quarter of 2025.
Once operational, the new facility will considerably boost Magnetic MRO's maintenance capabilities. Specifically, base maintenance capacity is expected to grow by 25-30%, while the aircraft painting division is projected to see a 60-70% rise in its capacity. The expansion will also enable the company to diversify its services and better respond to increasing global demand for high-quality aircraft MRO services.
Until now, Magnetic Group has primarily focused on expanding its presence in international markets. However, this investment highlights a deliberate shift towards strengthening its domestic operations in Estonia. The move is seen as a critical component in the company's broader growth strategy and aims to elevate its competitive position within the European aviation sector.
The construction, which began in autumn 2024, is being carried out with a strong emphasis on sustainability and energy efficiency, aligning with international best practices. The facility will contribute to the development of both Tallinn Airport and the Airport City district, supporting its ambition to become a hub for aviation-related enterprises.
