Airhub Aviation has signed a strategic maintenance agreement with aircraft lessor AerCap to provide base maintenance and aircraft redelivery services at its facility at Šiauliai International Airport (SQQ) in Lithuania. The agreement establishes Airhub Aviation as a strategic MRO partner for AerCap, supporting narrow-body aircraft transitions, deliveries and redeliveries across Europe and the Middle East.
Under the agreement, the company will deliver a range of base maintenance services, including the implementation of EASA-approved modifications. These will cover avionics upgrades, cabin reconfigurations (LOPA modifications), engine swaps, landing gear replacements and the execution of required maintenance programmes for AerCap’s airline customers. A dedicated ad hoc maintenance bay will enable rapid aircraft induction, helping minimise downtime for both lessors and operators.
Alongside maintenance support, Airhub Aviation will also draw on its capabilities in component management, supply chain solutions and long-term aircraft storage. The company’s asset management division provides mid-life aircraft support, including parts harvesting, component repair management and optimised inventory solutions for airlines and leasing companies.
The Šiauliai facility offers extensive long-term parking capacity, with space for up to 25 narrow-body aircraft simultaneously, making it one of the largest storage sites in the region. Its location provides cost-effective storage and transition services close to key European markets. As a NATO base airport, Šiauliai International Airport also offers enhanced security infrastructure and 24-hour operational flexibility.
