myTECHNIC has started its operations in 2008. Its name was chosen to emphasize its purely third-party business plan, putting the customer airline in priority. Its full capacity is dedicated to the customers.

As world’s first Lean Greenfield MRO, myTECHNIC is located at Sabiha Gokcen International Airport (SAW) on the Asian side of Istanbul, Turkey. This advantageous geographical location between Europe and Asia makes myTECHNIC ideally suited to serve domestic partners as well as global carriers in Europe, CIS, Middle East, and Africa. 

Designed on the principles of Lean Management, myTECHNIC accomplishes time saving and effective MRO service options ranging from airframe maintenance to engine & component overhaul and to aircraft painting. 

myTECHNIC can give support for additional services such as structural & composite inspections and repairs, modifications, access to spares, cabin interior maintenance services. 

myTECHNIC is approved by Turkish Civil Aviation Authority (DGCA) and received its EASA Part 145 Approval Certificate in 2008. myTECHNIC holds several civil aviation authority approvals including FAA (USA), UK CAA, CAAC (China), Bermuda DCA and many others.

Cost effective and transparent

Since foundation in 2008, Lean Management principles have nested best practices of productivity and safety, eliminating waste of space, movement and time in myTECHNIC. It is continuously worked on extending corporate responsibility areas for environment, increasing satisfaction, minimizing costs and turnaround time for partners. The flexible hangar management concept ensures that there is sufficient buffer to compensate non-routine findings with pre-given TAT.

A new goal: convenience

Starting from the top management, the company culture is well-aware of the importance of customer experience. There are less barriers and more flexibility, thanks to this decade long journey of more than 100 different airlines and lessors. The goal is common, to redeliver keeping the 3 pillars of quality, TAT and price up and strong. But working on projects from more than 50 different countries brought a new goal: the convenience.

Customers of myTECHNIC experience nothing but convenience. Between the ferry flights, at the hotel, at our customer centric facilities, a flexible MRO management system which provide full visibility until the very end of the project bring this convenience. The unique and primary attribute in this “anyone’s” MRO facility.

Being part of a third-party MRO, our teams are very well-aware and concerned about customer satisfaction and transparent information flow. From the contracting phase, until the end of contract, a dedicated team is assigned to our customers to follow the best practices in project management.

A very experienced structural team, integrated paint facilities brought a great advantage especially during heavy and end of lease checks. The interior performance and new capabilities towards the perfect cabin are improving every day. Even though Part-21 and DOA approvals are not in place, the outsourcing of such capabilities when needed works perfectly. 

The motto is simple. We treat the most important asset of the airline as if they are our own. And we imagine ourselves earning our wages not by man-hours, but the tickets sold and timely and reliable flights made. And most of all, we learn from our mistakes and maintain a company-wide culture of open communication. It needs some fortitude to act as such, but our returning customers greatly pay back. We are keen to offer not only a proposal of services, but myTECHNIC becoming the MRO Partner.
