FL Technics is strengthening its European presence by opening a new wheels and brakes facility in Bergamo, Italy. Located near Milan Bergamo Airport, the 2,041 m² site has commenced operations and is expected to provide convenient access and high-quality landing gear component services for airlines in Southern and Western Europe. It becomes the company’s fourth dedicated wheels and brakes site, complementing existing facilities in Vilnius, Budapest and Hanover.
The new facility forms part of FL Technics’ strategy to create a widespread European MRO network that delivers reliable and regionally accessible services. By positioning itself close to major aviation hubs, the company aims to reduce turnaround times, improve logistics efficiency, and provide rapid support during both routine maintenance and urgent aircraft on ground (AOG) scenarios. Proximity to customers is also expected to contribute to lower emissions and improved sustainability through reduced transport distances.
According to Chief Executive Officer Zilvinas Lapinskas, this latest investment responds to growing airline demand in Southern and Western Europe and supports the company’s ambition of building the continent’s largest MRO network. The facility will eventually employ around 160 highly skilled professionals, expanding the firm’s global workforce of over 3,000.
The Bergamo site is anticipated to serve as a strategic hub, offering efficient, reliable, and cost-effective wheels and brakes support tailored to the needs of European carriers.
This development represents another step in FL Technics’ long-term growth plan, reflecting its commitment to providing comprehensive and easily accessible aircraft component support solutions for operators worldwide.
