GE Aerospace, MTU Partner to Conduct GEnx Maintenance at Fort Worth Location

Under a long-term agreement, GE Aerospace and MTU Maintenance (Dallas) will continue GEnx aviation engine maintenance at the new Fort Worth facility. The agreement supports MTU Maintenance Dallas in expanding maintenance variety and Fort Worth shop capacity for customers using GE Aerospace engines.

“MTU Maintenance is a capable maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) provider, and we are pleased to extend our strategic long-term partnership to support their Fort Worth expansion,” said Mahendra Nair, Group Vice President, GE Commercial Engine Programs. “This new agreement underscores our commitment to an MRO network that offers GEnx customers a choice of facilities and geographies to meet surging travel demand.”

With GE Aerospace’s Branded Services Agreement, MTU Maintenance Dallas is an authorized, trained, and supported GEnx engine service provider, leveraging its access to overhaul and repair technology at the Fort Worth facility. In 2023, MTU Maintenance transferred its maintenance work to the Fort Worth location: a 43,000-square-meter facility with engine testing capable of up to 100,000 lbs. of thrust.

“MTU is committed to providing engine services, and we are proud to be increasing our services to full overhaul capability, further supporting the GEnx engine line,” said Michael Schreyögg, Chief Program Officer, MTU Aero Engines. “This agreement is another step towards increasing our footprint in North America, enhancing our competitiveness in the open market, and continuing to provide quality services to GE Aerospace and other customers.”

Recently, MTU Maintenance began building a new MRO production section at its Berlin-Brandenburg location, supporting a 30% increase in shop visit volumes in the coming years. The German location services GE Aerospace’s LM-series aeroderivative industrial gas turbines, specifically the LM2500, LM6000, and other models. This expansion aims to improve workscope customization, satisfy customer requirements, and meet growing market demand. The new addition is slated to commence operations in January 2027 after completion.

The shop hosts an engine dock for rapid maintenance and turn arounds, and the apprentice workshop falls under a new training center to train and qualify mechanics. MTU Power’s expansion is designed to strengthen its independent LM-series MRO services. In 2024, MTU Maintenance Berlin-Brandenburg purchased an existing structure next to its facility, which is now being demolished to accommodate a 113,000-square-foot MRO and business development expansion.

In late March 2025, GE Aerospace and Lufthansa Technik inaugurated the XEOS engine MRO facility in Środa Śląska, Poland. It is a 35,000-square-meter facility that leverages GE Aerospace’s lean operating system, FLIGHT DECK, to deploy best practices in design and operation. XEOS also includes:

• Engine preparation hall for inspection
• Main hall for engine and module assembly and disassembly
• Modern clean-and-inspect line
• Sets of repair stations
• Hands-on engine training center
• Advanced test cell

The facility primarily overhauls and repairs CFM International’s LEAP engines for narrowbody aircraft, such as the Airbus A320neo and Boeing 737 MAX. XEOS is currently conducting LEAP-1B shop visits and LEAP-1A module work and engine testing, with plans to increase overhaul capacity and repair capability in the coming months. The joint venture will also add LEAP-1B test cell capability soon.
