Leading MRO provider Turkish Technic has agreed an extended base maintenance deal with Emirates.

The Gulf carrier, the operator of the world’s largest fleet of Boeing 777s, originally signed a maintenance agreement for five 7772 in April.

Under the terms of the new agreement, Turkish Technic will perform base maintenance services for further seventeen aircraft in Emirates’ fleet.

Maintenance operations for the first aircraft covered by this new agreement will commence in July 2023.

Mikail Akbulut, chief executive of Turkish Technic, said: ‘‘We are delighted to strengthen the partnership between Turkish Technic and Emirates.

“Building on the success of the initial base maintenance annex we signed in April, this new agreement not only reflects Emirates’ confidence in our services but also highlights our jointly shared commitment to excellence.

“As a leading MRO provider in the aviation industry, we are glad to work closely with Emirates to ensure the highest level of safety and reliability for their Boeing 777 fleet.”

Turkish Technic provides maintenance, repair, overhaul, engineering, modification, tailor-made PBH and reconfiguration services to many domestic and international customers at five locations.
