Building resilience through our MRO expansion

At BAESL, Beijing, our joint venture with Air China is well underway and due to start operations in 2026. The 86,000 square metre site will have a new test bed and will reach full capacity by the mid-2030s.

Together with SIA Engineering at SAESL in Singapore, we're increasing our capacity by 40%, extending the facility by 50,000 square metres in engine overhauls and component repair, with advanced repair cells focussed on cutting edge technology to enhance our repair capability in the network.

Our N3 joint venture with Lufthansa Technik will also see a ramp up over the next two years.

In May, we announced plans to establish a state-of-the-art independent centre at Istanbul Airport with Turkish Technic. The new facility, targeted to be operational by the end of 2027 is expected to be one of the largest in the region.
