Lufthansa Technik Turbine Shannon (LTTS) has officially opened its new Engine Parts & Accessories Repair (EPAR) facility in Shannon, Ireland. The new state-of-the-art facility spans 2,000 m2, increasing LTTS’ total capacity for aircraft engine maintenance and repair in the region to 10,000 m2. This development enables LTTS to expand its portfolio by including Engine Manifolds among its specialist services, which distribute air or fluids for optimal engine performance.
LTTS CEO, Michael Malewski, said that the new Shannon facility has already created 25 additional jobs and that recruitment remains a priority as the company continues to grow and diversify. He highlighted a particular need for more experienced aviation engineers as well as qualified mechanics and engineers from any field interested in moving into the aviation industry. LTTS has been operating in Ireland since 1992 and in the past two years alone, the company has added 106 people to its workforce, employing more than 300 people across its operations in Shannon, Kildare, and Dublin.
