myTECHNIC Opening Ceremony Puts World’s First LEAN Greenfield MRO Center-Stage.

Istanbul, Turkey September 27, 2008 The Opening Ceremony of Istanbul-based myTECHNIC Aircraft MRO Services saw Turkish officials and members of the international and Turkish aviation community celebrate the opening of the world’s first LEAN Greenfield MRO. About 400 visitors were present in the hangar of this US$80 million facility to hear the Turkish Ministers of Transportation and National Defense and the Undersecretary of Defense Industries express their congratulations and best wishes for the future success of the venture. Ministers, the representative of the Turkish Civil Aviation Authority and other dignitaries were in attendance.
The speakers were quick to note that the Turkish aviation sector has undergone significant changes in the past three years, among them the privatization of Sabiha Gokcen International Airport where my TECHNIC is located on 60,000 square meters of land. Such moves to modernize the sector have allowed projects like myTECHNIC to be realized. In order to complete the project, 300,000 cubic meters of soil were moved, 40,000 cubic meters of concrete were poured, 5,500 metric tons of construction steel was used and the largest single-roof in Turkey was installed.
Foreign visitors who attended the ceremony agreed that the word that best describes the facility is “impressive”. “Turkey and Turkish aviation are one of the few bright spots in the aviation industry today and we are proud to be a part of it on behalf of our industry and our country. We are now officially open for business” declared myTECHNIC’s Management Board.
