Cooperation with the German air force
Intelligent maintenance and repair concepts ensure prompt and effective solutions. They improve engine availability and help cut costs. To put such concepts effectively into practice all activities must be precisely tailored to the customers’ needs.
A fine example of MTU’ capabilities in this field are the maintenance services the company is providing under its cooperation with the German air force. The concept has been developed and implemented jointly by MTU Aero Engines and the German air force. The cooperation colocates the maintenance activities under an engine program at a single location where MTU experts, military personnel and civilian German air force employees work shoulder to shoulder.
The military personnel is involved in the industrial repair process, honing their engine skills. Thus, the German air force makes sure it does not lose any of its maintenance and system know-how. Industrially, the cooperation is lead by MTU, but the military personnel remains fully under German Air Force command.
