Boeing and Turkish Technic, the maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) arm of Turkish Airlines, have announced a Global Fleet Care supplier agreement.
Turkish Technic is now a strategic Boeing supplier for line maintenance, heavy maintenance of airplanes, component service and repair. Boeing and Turkish Technic will collaborate together in the training and certification of technicians from different parts of the world.
Last year, Boeing and the Turkish Government announced the Boeing Turkey National Aerospace Initiative. This supports the growth of the Turkish aerospace industry. Its targets were set by Turkey’s Vision 2023, designed to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Turkish Republic. The initiative aligns Boeing investment and programs with the Turkish Government, Turkish airlines, aerospace service companies and industry suppliers in the areas of research, engineering and skills development.
Turkey is one of Boeing’s top strategic growth countries, and we see a strong potential in aviation services and maintenance in Turkey,” said Marc Allen, President of Boeing International. “Positioning Turkey as a global player in aviation services is one of the key elements of the Boeing Turkey National Aerospace Initiative. With this agreement, we are taking our successful collaboration with Turkish Technic one step further in a manner that aligns to the growth of Boeing and Turkey.”
