A Thriving Epoch in Turkish Aviation
The Turkish aviation sector is experiencing an unprecedented boom, characterized by significant growth among its carriers. Turkish Airlines, the flagship carrier, has fortified its global presence, now reaching more international destinations than any other airline. This expansive growth is supported by a strategic increase in fleet size—from 100 aircraft in 2006 to an anticipated 800 by 2033. Such growth necessitates robust technical support, a role expertly filled by Turkish Technic.
Way More Than an MRO Provider
Turkish Technic, a subsidiary of Turkish Airlines, provides essential maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services. This partnership is crucial for sustaining the rapid expansion of both entities. As Turkish Airlines enhances its fleet, Turkish Technic simultaneously advances its capabilities to meet growing demands. The company services a diverse array of aircraft, including the latest narrowbody and widebody models, ensuring high operational readiness and minimal downtime.
Furthermore, Turkish Technic’s role extends beyond servicing just Turkish Airlines. It offers a comprehensive range of services to various global clients, including other airlines, lessors, and operators. Its capabilities include regular maintenance checks, emergency repairs, component maintenance, aircraft modifications, and more. The strategic location of Turkish Technic’s facilities within a five-hour flight of 66 countries enhances its accessibility and operational efficiency significantly.
Building Upon Decades of Expertise While Preparing for the Future
Mikail Akbulut, the CEO of Turkish Technic, emphasizes the company’s rich history dating back to 1933, which provides a strong foundation of expertise. This historical depth is paired with a proactive approach to adopting technological advancements and innovative practices in the MRO field. The COVID-19 pandemic underscored the necessity for adaptability, prompting Turkish Technic to integrate digital solutions and expand its service capabilities further.
The company is also at the forefront of adopting predictive maintenance and integrating state-of-the-art technologies such as automation and robotics to enhance the efficiency and precision of its operations. These technological advancements not only improve service reliability but also align with the evolving needs of modern aircraft maintenance.
Turkish Technic’s expansion is not limited to technological advancements. The company is actively enhancing its global footprint, particularly in strategic markets like the Middle East and Africa. This includes building one of the largest MRO facilities at Istanbul Airport and strengthening partnerships with major regional carriers. These efforts ensure that Turkish Technic remains a leading provider in the MRO industry, ready to meet the growing demands of the global aviation market.
