Istanbul's dominance as the foremost global maintenance hub is achieved through the efforts of Turkish Technic.

In a significant move for the global aviation industry, Turkish Technic and Rolls-Royce have announced plans to open a state-of-the-art engine maintenance center in Istanbul. The facility, scheduled to open in 2023, is part of Rolls-Royce's ambitious strategy to significantly increase its global engine maintenance capacities by 2030.

Located at Istanbul Airport, the new maintenance center will have the capacity to perform up to 200 complex engine overhauls annually. This strategic location, situated between Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, is a significant advantage for global aviation logistics.

The partnership between Turkish Technic and Rolls-Royce is focused on expanding Turkish Technic's portfolio to include cutting-edge Rolls-Royce engines. This collaboration is seen as a step towards greater global competitiveness in maintenance. Turkish Technic will continue to play a central role in supporting Trent engines, including the Trent XWB-97, Trent XWB-84, and Trent 7000 models.

For Turkish Technic, this project is more than just a business venture. It is a strategic move to build a leading regional center of excellence for engine maintenance. The establishment of the engine maintenance center is expected to create high-quality jobs, foster the development of national supply chains, and support technical training in Turkey.

The new maintenance center will enhance infrastructure and strengthen the local aviation industry. It will also contribute to the positive impact on the local economy, further cementing Turkey's status as a hub for innovation and services in aerospace technology.
