Aircraft maintenance provider Magnetic MRO has announced the opening of its fifth hangar at Tallinn Airport (EETN).

The expansion significantly increases the Magnetic Group’s base maintenance capacity and is expected to create 80 direct jobs and 240 indirect positions across the local aviation sector.

The new hangar footprint includes three heavy maintenance bays, has 8,800 sqm of additional space and is designed to meet LEED Silver certification standards for energy efficiency.

It also features a 150-kW solar power system and includes specialised aircraft maintenance platforms including tail docks, wing platforms and access stairs.

Jan Kotka, managing director at Magnetic MRO, said: “Capacity on its own is not the story – capability is. The extra capacity at our Tallinn facility lets us scale critical checks, integrate more digital and data-driven processes, and introduce services our customers are asking for – setting a higher bar for turnaround, transparency, and total cost of ownership.”

With this expansion, Magnetic MRO has reached what the company describes as a “sweet spot” capacity – balancing demand and capability in the heavy maintenance segment.

Future growth will focus on expanding the Magnetic Group’s engine workshop capabilities and developing talent through Magnetic Academy.

Aavo Kuus, business development manager at Magnetic MRO, said: “Continued growth at Tallinn Airport ensures airlines get what matters most: access they can rely on and predictable outcomes. That reliability is why customers choose Magnetic MRO.”

The hangar has been operational since early January 2026 and all three bays are currently active and supporting ongoing base maintenance operations.
