FL Technics is to enter a segment of wheels and brakes maintenance as the group launches a dedicated business line and a specialised shop with a highly experienced team of engineers and technicians at Hanover International Airport in Germany.
Dedicated facility for servicing commercial aircraft wheels and brakes, as well as tires and components, started operations under FL Technics name as of Monday 4 April and will serve as a support hub within the global network of groups’ MRO markets, ranging from the Americas to the Asia-Pacific.
The expansion of business areas is a natural continuity of current FL Technics groups’ operations, including a global integrated supply chain and the largest independent line maintenance network with more than 70 stations in service worldwide.
Established infrastructure and a pool of partners create a perfect ecosystem to develop operations that create new prospects as well as the ability to tailor FL Technics’ solutions based on market needs to both lessors and operators.
Zilvinas Lapinskas, CEO at FL Technics, said: “The successful start of the wheels and brakes business marks a new era for FL Technics and FL Technics group as we fill in a service area, previously outsourced by our MRO and sales teams. The expansion is our next step in strengthening FL Technics’ position as a global one-stop-shop service provider of MRO services.”
Saulius Bajarunas, COO at FL Technics, said: “I am personally engaged in every stage of the business model we are now launching. Thus I am confident this step is a recipe for success, with all the key ingredients – a highly skilled team of engineers, purpose-built facilities, certifications, and capabilities in high demand, as well as a strong backup by the global MRO group of FL Technics.”
