Aug 01, 2024 (newstodate): Estonia's Tallinn Airport is bolstering its position as a key hub for aircraft maintenance in the Baltic region.
Tallinn Airport is thus to build three new aircraft maintenance hangars totaling 11,000 m2, two of which are already leased by the Estonian aircraft maintenance company Magnetic MRO.
Construction of the new hangars will start in the fall of 2024 and slated for completion by the end of 2025.
-Nearly 80 aircraft are flying in to Tallinn Airport for maintenance works annually, and now we are reaching 100, says Jan Kotka, Magnetic Group COO.
To cope with increasing the demand for maintenance services, Magnetic MRO in 2023 added maintenance works at a newly-built hangar at Parnu Airport.
The temporary facility at Parnu Airport freed capacity at the company's maintenance hangars at Tallinn Airport during peak seasons, notably winter periods when airlines perform planed maintenance works on their fleet.
