Airhub Aviation has signed a strategic maintenance agreement with AerCap to provide base maintenance and aircraft redelivery services at its Siauliai International Airport (SQQ) facility in Lithuania. The agreement positions Airhub Aviation as strategic MRO partner for AerCap, supporting narrow-body aircraft transitions, deliveries, and re-deliveries across Europe and Middle East.
Under the agreement, Airhub Aviation will provide a range of base maintenance, EASA modifications implementation, including avionic modifications, cabin reconfigurations (LOPA mods), engine swaps, landing gear replacements, and implementation of required maintenance for AerCap customers. A dedicated ad-hoc bay will facilitate rapid aircraft inductions, ensuring minimal downtime for lessors and operators.
Oleg Novak, Managing Director of Airhub Aviation commented: "This partnership cements our position as a key player in aircraft transitions and maintenance. Our Siauliai facility is purpose-built for fast-turnaround base maintenance, aircraft modifications, engine swaps, as well as long-term storage - critical services for lessors managing fleet transitions. We're proud to support one of the largest lessors in the industry and look forward to building further our relationship with AerCap not only on asset leasing and trading but in MRO segment."
In addition to MRO services, Airhub Aviation will leverage its expertise in component management, supply chain solutions, and long-term storage services. The company’s asset management division provides mid-life aircraft support, including parts harvesting, component repair management, and optimized inventory solutions for operators and leasing houses.
The Siauliai facility offers extensive long-term parking capacity, accommodating up to 25 narrow-body aircraft simultaneously - one of the largest capacities in the region. The site provides cost-effective storage and transition solutions, complemented by Siauliai International Airport’s proximity to key European markets. As a NATO base airport, SQQ also offers high-security infrastructure and round-the-clock operational flexibility.
