Turkish Technic, together with joint venture partner Pratt & Whitney, opened a new, high-technology and environmentally efficient CFM56® and V2500 engine MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul) facility in Istanbul in 2010.
The Pratt & Whitney Turkish Technic Aircraft Engine Maintenance Center, LLP, or Turkish Engine Center, is established to provide engine maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services to customers located in Turkey, surrounding regions and worldwide. The facility is comprised of approximately 25,000 sq. meters (269,000 sq. feet) located at the Sabiha Gokcen International Airport in the Anatolian peninsula. Once fully operational, the center is expected to overhaul more than 200 engines per year. Most of the workforce has been transferred from Turkish Technic. The Turkish Engine Center overhauls CFM56–3, –5B, –5C and –7B and V2500–A5 engines. The facility’s anticipated extensive part repair capability will help reduce engine overhaul costs and turnaround times.
