Hanwha Aviation has acquired its first engine maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facility, the company's CEO Jeff Lewis said on LinkedIn on May 28, 2025.
The US-based MRO is fully certified by the FAA, EASA, and UK CAA. The facility specialises in both hospital and on-wing services across a broad range of engine types, including the CFM56.
“This acquisition represents a foundational step in our vertically integrated approach to engine leasing and asset management,” said Lewis. “By incorporating in-house MRO capabilities, we enhance our ability to offer comprehensive, cost-effective solutions throughout the engine lifecycle. This move complements Hanwha's existing strengths in aerospace manufacturing and reinforces our commitment to delivering end-to-end value to our customers."
He added that the company will disclose the engine MRO's “new name and brand identity” in the coming weeks.
