Rolls-Royce, a global aviation engine manufacturer, intends to establish an independent center at Istanbul Airport in collaboration with Turkish Technic. The new center will reinforce Turkish Technics’ standing as a leading maintenance, repair, and overhaul provider.

The new facility will be operational by the end of 2027. It will allow Turkish Technic to deliver extensive maintenance services to several engines. These engines include Trent XWB-97, Trent XWB-84, and Trent 7000. Some of these engines power the Airbus A350 and Airbus A330neo. This agreement will greatly enhance and expand Turkish Technic operations, including engine maintenance and overhaul operations. The facility will provide services to Turkish Airlines and Rolls-Royce TotalCare customers. It will be one of the largest facilities in the region, with an expected capacity of 200 shop visits annually. Rob Watson, president of civil aerospace at Rolls-Royce, said:

“We’re significantly increasing our global MRO capacity by 2030, and today’s announcement marks an important milestone on that journey, as we add Turkish Technic to our global network of capable, flexible and resilient MRO providers to support our TotalCare customers around the world. It reinforces our strong partnership with Turkish Airlines, whose fleet of Airbus A350s will be supported by this facility, and shows confidence in Turkish Technic’s ability to realize its ambition to become a world-class provider of civil large aero engine MRO. In April 2024, we reaffirmed our commitment to Türkiye, announcing our intention to explore the implementation of a number of industrial initiatives. Today’s agreement is a demonstration of that commitment. We are delighted to welcome Turkish Technic into our expanding network of Trent engine maintenance centers.”

Based at Istanbul Airport and Sabiha Gökçen International Airport, Turkish Technic is a global leading MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul) service provider. Most of the services are focused on Turkish Airlines’ fleet. However, the group also offers services to third-party airlines such as IndiGo and SunExpress.

Turkish Airlines is the flag carrier of Turkey, with 352 destinations worldwide, including Europe, Asia, Oceania, and Africa. Turkish Airlines is the largest operator of Trent XWB engines. In 2023, the Airline placed a historic order for Airbus A350, including 120 Trent XWB-84 and 40 Trent XWB-97 engines. With the new facility in Istanbul, Turkish Technic will be able to service a wide range of Trent engine models. Ahmet Bolat, chairman of the board at Turkish Technic, said: 

“We are thrilled to partner with one of the world’s leading engine manufacturers. Rolls-Royce’s expertise will be instrumental in enhancing our engine maintenance operations. With our new facility expansion, we will be equipped to perform comprehensive maintenance services across a wide range of Trent engine models, allowing us to meet the evolving needs of the industry. Solidifying our position in the MRO industry, this partnership significantly expands our maintenance capabilities and empowers us to continue delivering world-class service to our customers worldwide.”
