Leading German aircraft engine manufacturer, MTU Aero Engines, will begin construction of its new repair facility at an industrial park near Belgrade’s Nikola Tesla Airport this year, with the opening scheduled for 2023, the EX-YU Aviation News portal reports.
“This industrial park definitely has growth potential. It could well attract our suppliers and partners,” Rainer Becker, Project Manager and Managing Director of MTU Maintenance Serbia, said.
He added that, in the first phase, they planned to have the capacity for 470,000 repair hours per year.
“All the planning is being done in close collaboration with the relevant authorities in Serbia to ensure that the new building complies with all regulations and specifications,” Becker adds.
