MTU Maintenance aims to further grow its global ON-SITEPlus service activities, as the demand for on- and near-wing maintenance and hospital shop visits continues to increase worldwide. In 2023, MTU’s ON-SITEPlus completed well over 1000 on-site events for over 500 customers globally.
Michael Schreyögg, Chief Program Officer at MTU Aero Engines, says “We are seeing a definite rise in demand for on-site and near-wing workscopes across the world, and have been expanding our capabilities in Australia, the United States, Brazil as well as here in Germany, in order to be as flexible with our service provisions as possible.”
Further, to achieve growth goals, MTU Maintenance is integrating its world-wide on-site services by creating a central unit that will oversee and steer the global network of MRO response teams. Xaver Schmid has been appointed as VP Global ON-SITEPlus Network, in an effort to further develop the global operations and build on MTU’s strong track record of customer support. Besides the on- and near-wing activities, the responsibilities include operational oversight of MTU Power’s field service crews for industrial gas turbines, as well.
