This morning (19 May), Ryanair announced a new winter maintenance agreement with Czech MRO provider, Job Air Technic, which will see the airline undertake one line of heavy maintenance at their modern MRO facility at Mošnov, Ostrava. Ryanair’s fleet will grow to over 600 aircraft over the coming years and this agreement will ensure that the airline has flexibility as to where it places its aircraft for upcoming winter maintenance seasons.

Ryanair uses a mix of internal facilities and external suppliers to conduct its heavy maintenance. Ryanair continues to invest in our internal heavy maintenance facilities and this agreement will complement these facilities to ensure the maintenance requirements are more than met over the coming years.

Speaking to the impact of this announcement, Ryanair’s Director of Operations, Neal McMahon, said:

“Our 5-year growth plan will grow our fleet to over 600 aircraft and we are pleased to announce this agreement with Job Air Technic to conduct maintenance at their modern MRO facility in Mošnov, Ostrava this winter. This agreement will allow Ryanair to utilise a single heavy maintenance slot, with aircraft coming in nose-to-tail for the upcoming winter season. Job Air Technic has an excellent reputation for a quality service offering in the industry and we are pleased to be announcing this new deal, which will ensure that Ryanair has flexibility as to where it places its aircraft for the winter maintenance season.”

Commenting on the deal, Vladimír Stulančák, CEO & Chairman of the Board of Directors at Job Air Technic said: “We see the conclusion of the agreement with Ryanair as an appreciation of our long-term work, in which we focus primarily on heavy aircraft maintenance. In all circumstances, we try to be as flexible as possible, we are always open in communication with customers, and we are glad that our activities bring a positive response from the market. We look forward to welcoming Ryanair to our facility this winter.”
