AMAC Aerospace has begun work to expand its maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facility in Turkey. The Swiss-based aircraft completions and MRO group announced today that it has secured an additional 32,000 sq m (eight acres) of land at Milas–Bodrum Airport (LTFE) on which to build hangars that can handle widebody aircraft, as well as technical and administrative facilities.
Once construction plans are completed, work will begin immediately and AMAC aims to have the added facilities fully operational in 2026. The company is modeling the Bodrum center on its main facility at Basel Airport.
AMAC, which was formed in 2007, conducts cabin completions and MRO services for multiple aircraft types, including extensive experience with widebody models. In Turkey, it already has a facility at Istanbul Atatürk International Airport that specializes in supporting Dassault Falcons, as well as Pilatus PC-12 turboprops and PC-24 jets.
The group also includes Zurich-based Amac Corporate Jet, a management and charter division that operates a fleet of 12 aircraft. In France is its JCB Aero subsidiary that specializes in composite and carbon fiber manufacturing.
AMAC Aerospace group executive chairman and CEO Kadri Muhiddin said the company’s investment at LTFE is set to yield social and economic benefits to the area.
