Turkish Technic is making a bid to become a global player in the MRO business. The maintenance arm of Turkish Airlines is currently developing a new US $200 million facility, and has spoken with various international MROs and OEMs about potential partnerships and alliances. “We are shifting our mentality from being just part of an airline to being a fully-fledged MRO,” said Dr Ismail Demir, executive vice president, technical, Turkish Airlines.
Turkish Technic’s broad objective is to generate US $500 million in MRO business by 2010. To help it achieve this goal, the company has began work on the new Habom MRO facility at Istanbul’s Sabiha Gokcen International Airport.
