MTU Engines opens Serbia facility
NEWS FLASH
Leading German aircraft engine manufacturer MTU Aero Engines has opened its new facility in Nova Pazova near Belgrade. The site will become a vital part of the global MTU Maintenance network and is set up for the repair of engine parts. “The additional MRO [maintenance repair and overhaul] capacity in Serbia will further improve our strong and flexible network, as well as boost our ability to offer competitive services in the global market. Just as at all our other sites, customers can count on our consistently high quality and reliability. We also greatly appreciate the excellent support and partnership of the Serbian government. This enabled us to complete the construction in a consequent manner and at an extraordinarily fast pace - for the benefit of our customers and partners”, Michael Schreyogg, MTU Aero Engines' Chief Program Officer, said. The new facility covers an area of 39.000 square metres. In the coming years, it is planned to increase its workforce to more than 400 employees. In order to prepare and train its employees, MTU has participated in the development of the Aviation Academy in Belgrade together with the Serbian Ministry of Education. The first MTU Maintenance specialists have already been trained in Serbia. Moreover, they underwent an intensive on-the-job training at MTU locations in Germany and Poland. MTU Maintenance and Air Serbia signed an exclusive V2500 engine maintenance repair and overhaul contract in 2020. The six-year agreement covers MRO, engine trend monitoring and spare engine services for Air Serbia’s v-powered A319 and A320 aircraft fleet.
