MTU Maintenance, a provider of customized solutions for aircraft engines, recently celebrated the delivery of its 4,000th CF6 engine after a shop visit. The CF6-80C2 engine was from customer Air Transport International, Inc. which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Air Transport Services Group, Inc. The shop visit for the milestone CF6 engine was performed by MTU Maintenance’s North American branch in Vancouver. MTU Maintenance has been supporting the CF6 for over four decades since it began providing services for the CF6-50 engine in 1982.
The CF6-80C2 version was introduced in MTU Maintenance’s portfolio in 1989 and has accounted for more than half of shop visits performed since. While MTU stopped providing services for the CF6-50 engine in 2020, the company remains committed to the CF6-80C2 engine. MTU Maintenance also provides MRO services for the military variant of the engine, the F138.
MTU Maintenance’s long-term experience and the ability to serve both commercial and military customers make them the reliable MRO provider for this engine, also in the long term. MTU Maintenance has already performed upwards of 40 shop visits for Air Transport International, since 2019.
