FL Technics has announced a major expansion of its European footprint through the strategic acquisition of JOB AIR Technic a.s., a Czech MRO company. The deal, still subject to statutory approvals and closing conditions, includes a large-scale 17,000 m² maintenance facility located at Leoš Janáček Airport in Ostrava, Czech Republic. This move significantly enhances FL Technics’ capabilities in Central Europe by securing vital maintenance infrastructure in a highly strategic location.
Founded in 1993, JOB AIR Technic was formerly part of the Czechoslovak Group (CSG), a prominent Czech industrial and technology conglomerate. The company brings a workforce of over 400 skilled professionals and a robust MRO offering, with two large hangars housing eight maintenance bays capable of handling both narrow-body and wide-body aircraft. In addition to providing core base maintenance services, the facility includes a certified Part 147 maintenance training centre, supporting a broad range of technical services such as avionics, structural and composite repairs, non-destructive testing, emergency equipment servicing, and cabin interior refurbishments.
JOB AIR’s client portfolio includes major European and international airlines, with support capabilities for aircraft types such as the Airbus A320 family (including A320neo), A330 and Boeing 737 NG and MAX series. The company’s extensive regulatory accreditations—covering EASA, FAA, Transport Canada, and the Bermuda CAA—enable it to handle aircraft registered under multiple jurisdictions, further broadening the operational scope for FL Technics following the acquisition.
The acquisition not only reinforces FL Technics’ presence in Europe but also supports its long-term strategy to deliver comprehensive, globally integrated MRO solutions.
