EME Aero, a joint venture between Lufthansa Technik and MTU Aero Engines, is set to increase its maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) capacity for Pratt & Whitney GTF engines with the opening and entry into service of its second test cell on site in Jasionka, Poland.
EME Aero and its shareholders have invested over $37 million into this expansion, with the facility now expecting to service over 500 engines per year from 2028 onwards.
“It is precisely due to collaboration, passion, and dedication of our joint teams that we can celebrate today another significant milestone for our company," said Robert Maślach, managing director of business, CEO EME Aero and Anneke Troeller, managing director of operations, COO of EME Aero. "This event confirms that EME Aero is consistently strengthening its position within the GTF MRO network as one of the biggest and most advanced disassembly, assembly and test (DAT) shops worldwide."
The EME Aero facility in Jasionka first began engine services for the PW1100G-JM in December 2019. In 2022, EME Aero expanded its engine portfolio to include the PW1500G engine, followed by a third subtype, the PW1900G in 2023.
