One of Europe’s largest airlines, easyJet, has acquired the Adria Tehnika maintenance facility based in Slovenia through agreements early this week.
The five-bay aircraft maintenance facility in Brnik has undertaken heavy maintenance for the easyJet fleet of aircraft for several years and the airline plans to invest in the facility over the long term.
Part of the easyJet strategy
This acquisition is subject to regulatory approvals and is expected to be completed in early 2026. Adria Tehnika, which is led by Chief Executive Officer Barbara Perko Bravr, will remain based in Slovenia.
Barbara Perko Brvar commented:
“I am delighted that easyJet has recognised us as a strategic investment. Through our past work and strong references, we have proven to be a credible, reliable, and trusted partner to all our clients. With a strategic investor like easyJet, we will be able to further and more rapidly develop our activities, capacities, and the expertise of our employees.”
Over the last 18 months, easyJet has brought a significant amount of its base maintenance operations in-house through this recent acquisition and through acquiring SR Technics, a heavy maintenance operation in Malta.
Brendan McConnellogue, Director of Engineering and Maintenance, has said about the acquisition:
“We are delighted to have the Adria Tehnika team joining the easyJet group. We have worked with Adria Tehnika for almost a decade and entrusted them with over a 200 heavy maintenance inputs on our fleet of Airbus aircraft.
“We are really pleased to be acquiring the facility, along with its skilled workforce, which will help us further our aim of bringing more of our maintenance in house with plans to further develop and grow the facility in the coming years.”
