MRO Europe Day 2 Brings Aftermarket Announcements From Air Europa, BAE Systems, Collins Aerospace, Embraer, FL Technics, Lufthansa Technik and Wizz Air
Why It MattersA single trade-show day producing seven airline, OEM and MRO-provider announcements shows how much aftermarket business is negotiated and publicised at MRO events, though terms and scope are not yet public.
What happened
Aftermarket announcements and deals emerged on the second day of MRO Europe. The companies making announcements were Air Europa, BAE Systems, Collins Aerospace, Embraer, FL Technics, Lufthansa Technik and Wizz Air.
The rundown of the day's news was compiled by Lindsay Bjerregaard, managing editor of Aviation Week's MRO portfolio. Her coverage focuses on MRO technology, workforce, and product and service news.
Industry impact & what to watch
The list of names spans airlines (Air Europa, Wizz Air), airframe and avionics suppliers (BAE Systems, Collins Aerospace, Embraer) and maintenance providers (FL Technics, Lufthansa Technik). That mix is typical of how MRO trade events work: operators, OEMs and independent shops use the same few days to announce contracts and service offerings side by side.
Which of these announcements involve new contracts, extensions or product launches, and what they are worth, is settled only in the individual company releases. Those releases are the place to look for contract scope, fleet types and durations before drawing conclusions about any one provider.
