Turkish Technic has signed a landmark agreement with Rolls-Royce to establish an authorised licensed engine maintenance centre at Istanbul Airport. This collaboration marks Turkish Technic's entry into the Rolls-Royce MRO network and represents a major step forward in strengthening Türkiye's role as a global hub for advanced aviation services.
Set for completion by the end of 2027, the new facility will provide comprehensive maintenance services for Rolls-Royce's Trent XWB-97, Trent XWB-84 and Trent 7000 engines, which power Airbus A350 and A330neo aircraft. With an expected capacity of around 200 shop visits per year, the centre will be among the largest in the region, significantly boosting Turkish Technic's engine servicing capabilities and global competitiveness.
The facility will not only support the Turkish Airlines fleet but also cater to international customers under Rolls-Royce's TotalCare programme. Beyond enhancing maintenance operations, the project is poised to develop domestic engineering talent, stimulate local supply chains, and contribute to building a highly skilled workforce within the aviation sector.
Prof. Ahmet Bolat, Chairman of the Board and Executive Committee at Turkish Technic, highlighted that the partnership with Rolls-Royce will enable the company to deliver advanced maintenance solutions across multiple Trent engine models, reinforcing its commitment to world-class service. Rob Watson, President – Civil Aerospace at Rolls-Royce, added that the expansion aligns with their goal of increasing global MRO capacity and reflects strong confidence in Turkish Technic's future as a top-tier engine maintenance provider.
