FL Technics Expands Capabilities to Include Base Maintenance for Embraer E170/E190 models

FL Technics, a globally recognised provider of MRO solutions and a subsidiary of Avia Solutions Group, has been granted EASA Part-145 approval for the heavy maintenance of Embraer 170/190 aircraft.

FL Technics is well-positioned to meet the growing demand for maintenance services, as many of its clients, including Tier 1 operators, utilise this type of aircraft. The organisation, renowned for providing heavy maintenance to Airbus and Boeing narrowbody fleet operators, recognises that Embraer is forecasting significant growth over the next decade. This projection highlights the growing importance of smaller narrow-body aircraft in supporting short-haul routes across Europe, where such aircraft are essential for meeting the demand in regional and high-frequency markets.

Zilvinas Lapinskas, CEO of FL Technics, said: “FL Technics invests in the future and continuity. As an MRO services leader, recognised as a top heavy maintenance provider for narrow-bodies, we are dedicated to transferring our extensive know-how to new capabilities and positioning ourselves to meet our clients' needs by servicing all types of aircraft. Our next step is to obtain approval for the maintenance of the E2 series of Embraer, a successor to the E170/E190 series.”

Juozas Lapeika, Deputy CEO for Base Maintenance at FL Technics, commented on a new approval: “FL Technics goal is to expand and strengthen its presence in the global MRO solutions map by fulfilling the needs of our clients. Embraer is perfectly suited for short hauls in the European region, which many European operators, such as TAP Air Portugal, LOT Polish Airlines, Finnair, Air Dolomiti, Helvetic, KLM, Austrian Airlines, British Airways, SAS Link, and others, focus on.”

By providing maintenance for this type of aircraft, the FL Technics team leverages its experience and in-depth expertise in complex structure repairs, combined with an innovative and effective production system, a streamlined and efficient approach to problem-solving, and operational excellence.
