TDA signs new agreement with MRO Japan

Touchdown Aviation (TDA) has disclosed the signing of a general terms agreement (GTA) for purchasing and exchange with MRO Japan (MJP), Japan’s first dedicated aircraft maintenance company.

The GTA establishes a streamlined framework for the efficient exchange and procurement of high-quality, fully traceable aircraft components. This agreement will enable MRO Japan to further enhance its service capabilities, particularly in support of end-of-lease (EOL) return maintenance and passenger-to-freighter (P2F) conversions.

Founded in 2015 and based at Naha Airport in Okinawa, MRO Japan has seen remarkable growth, supported by investments from various companies, including local Okinawan businesses. It has become a key player in the Okinawa Aviation Industry Cluster. Holding approvals from Japan Civil Aviation Bureau (JCAB) for types including the Airbus A320 series, Boeing 767, Boeing 777, Boeing 787, Boeing 747-8F, ATR 42/ATR 72 and De Havilland DHC-8-400, as well as European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) certification for the Airbus A320/A321, MRO Japan delivers line and heavy maintenance, technical assistance, AOG recovery, and special livery painting. It has also expanded into EOL aircraft maintenance and Airbus A320/A321 freighter conversions.

TDA, established in 1982 and headquartered in the Netherlands with offices in Asia, Europe, and the United States, is a global aviation specialist. The company offers tailored solutions in component supply, exchange, consignment, repair, and AOG support for Boeing, Airbus and regional aircraft fleets, and holds certifications including AS9120B and ASA-100.

For TDA, this agreement represents not only a strengthened partnership with a valued customer, but also a strategic expansion of its presence in the Japanese market.
