The MTU Maintenance group, the largest independent aero engine maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) service provider worldwide, offers tailored MRO solutions for small (CF34, PW200, PW300, PW500 and PT6A), to large-sized commercial aircraft engines (CF6-50, CF6-80C2, V2500, CFM56, PW2000 and PW6000). MTU Maintenance overhauls engines from International Aero Engines, General Electric, CFM International, Pratt & Whitney and Pratt & Whitney Canada, and stationary gas turbines (LM series).

MTU Maintenance’s scope of services ranges from the maintenance of commercial aircraft jet engines, stationary gas turbines and the repair of components to the maintenance of engine accessories. Attractive additional services have been developed to augment core competencies, such as Total Engine Care (TEC™), an all-inclusive carefree package, by which customers can enjoy on-going support for their engines. Elements of this package include guaranteed availability of spare engines through MTU’s dedicated leasing team, 24-hour aircraft-on-ground (AOG) missions and mobile repair teams.

Another forte of MTU Maintenance is its proximity to its customers. The company has built a global service network and operates locations in Germany, Canada, China and Malaysia to ensure a strong presence in some of the most important markets.

Each MTU Maintenance location is a centre of excellence with its own strengths and individual services, employing state-of-the-art technologies like Fluoride Ion Cleaning (FIC), ultrasonic inspection, stripping of coatings, high-speed grinding and balancing, laser welding, linear friction welding, high-temperature vacuum brazing, flame spraying and High Velocity Oxy Fuel (HVOF) spraying, vacuum plasma spraying, laser drilling, surface sealing and atmospheric plasma spraying and application of thermal barrier coating for HPT blades and HPT vanes.

MTU experts are continuously developing and improving repair processes. MTUPlus is the trade name for innovative and highly cost-effective advanced repair technologies. MTUPlus processes build on first class know-how and fulfill the most demanding criteria such as extending operational part life, increasing repair yield and improving part functionality. Repaired parts provide top performance and guaranteed longer on-wing times.

Comprehensive all-round package: total engine care (TEC™)

MTU Maintenance’s 'total engine care' (TEC™) package comprises four elements: maintenance, repair & overhaul (MRO), engine fleet management and technical consultancy, guaranteed availability of spare engines as well as logistic services, including LRU support at any location worldwide.

Engine condition monitoring (remote diagnostics)

Engine condition monitoring (ECM) is an innovative system that constantly and remotely monitors various aircraft engine parameters ans helps detect engine abnormalities – before critical failure occurs. This translates into higher engine efficiency and lower cost of ownership through prevention of potential damage.

ECM complements MTU’s total engine care (TEC™) program and provides for “carefree” engine operation.

Engine leasing (e.pool services)

The team is responsible for a pool of dedicated spare engines of the most widely used types for lease to customers worldwide.
