Combining base maintenance, painting and parking/storage in one location is an attractive proposition for leasing companies. It minimises aircraft ground time which offers economic value and less complexity for lessors. Following a multi-million Euro investment, MAAS Aviation opened a new purpose-built paint shop at Kaunas Airport (KUN) in Lithuania, adjacent to FL Technics’ MRO facilities, in early 2021.

This partnership enables MAAS to combine services for the benefit of airline and leasing company customers that value technologically and environmentally advanced facilities.

Almost 50% of the world’s aircraft fleet is leased rather than owned by airlines, and transitioning aircraft at the end of lease periods to new operators is a complex business. By working with technical experts who can look after their aircraft efficiently, lessors can focus on the financial aspects of the agreement, confident in their ability to redeliver the plane on time and to their airline customers exacting specifications.

Leasing companies invest in aircraft and MAAS helps keep them flying and earning revenue.
