At their new hub in Istanbul, Turkish Airlines and their MRO services arm, Turkish Technic, pursued the development of a state-of-the-art aircraft line / base maintenance center that is one of the most advanced facilities of its kind in the world.
Our design of the 23,000 SM facility accommodates all variants of THY’s narrow-body jets and wide-body intercontinental airliners. Rather than a conventional approach that provides aircraft access on one side, we proposed a two-sided solution that offers ultimate scheduling efficiency. The building is outfitted with advanced aircraft service systems and infrastructure, including overhead cranes, telescoping work platforms, and point-of-use aircraft utilities delivery. The building design also supports the 24/7 technical center with extensive daylight harvesting, advanced heating and ventilation systems, and resilient, reflective interior materials.
This facility sets a new standard in modern and cost-efficient aircraft inspection and maintenance, enabling a high level of productivity, safety, and ultimately, aircraft reliability.
