MTU Maintenance Lease Services strengthens its logistics network with the launch of a warehouse for engine spare parts at the MTU Maintenance Dallas facility in Fort Worth. This addition aims to increase availability of new and serviceable engine parts for maintenance customers as well as dispatch speed. It is the second such facility for the Amsterdam-based leasing and asset management arm of MTU Maintenance, the leading service provider for customized MRO solutions for aero engines.

It is meant to further optimize parts supply for MTU’s global network, especially for popular engines such as the CF6-80, CFM56, GE90-110/115B and the V2500. The company has teamed up with Perimeter Global Logistics, a U.S. American member of The Aerospace Logistics Alliance, for the daily operations and management of the warehouse.

Patrick Biebel, Managing Director of MTU Maintenance Lease Services,commented: "Having a spare parts facility in North America – strategically located at one of the most important regional cargo hubs will help MTU to react almost instantaneously to material requests from engine operators, the network’s MRO locations and MTU’s ON-SITEPlusservice conducting on- and near-wing workscopes. We've been operating a parts warehouse on the outskirts of Amsterdam since 2021, and we plan to open a third facility in China in 2025.We are now able to dispatch parts to anywhere in the Americas and Europe within 24 hours, or even sooner, after an order comes in. Having that stability is enormously important for our global and regional MRO operations, such as at our subsidiaries in Canada and Brazil, and our growing piece-part business."

Rajan Sobhani, President at PGL, stated: "The opening of the Ft. Worth warehouse highlights PGL’s dedication to supporting MLS’s expansion in the U.S. Our company and TALA have the expertise, capabilities and necessary global network to manage MTU's complex logistics requirements. We are excited to see our collaboration with MLS and TALA come to fruition at MTU’s Ft. Worth warehouse. It is a transformative logistics project that underscores our dynamic growth and PGL’s commitment to driving success with our partners forward.”

MTU Maintenance Lease Services, Perimeter Global Logistics, and TALA have a long track record collaborating on the transport of lease engines and engine stands.
