FL Technics expands European presence
FL Technics has agreed to acquire JOB AIR Technic a.s., a Czech MRO provider, subject to fulfilment of agreed closing conditions, including statutory approvals. The acquisition includes a 17,000square-meter MRO facility at Leoš Janáček Airport Ostrava, Czech Republic, securing access to significant maintenance capacity at a prime location in Central Europe.
Established in 1993, JOB AIR was previously part of the Czechoslovak Group (CSG), a Czech industrial and technology group active in development, manufacturing, and trading. Employing more than 400 specialists JOB AIR provides base maintenance across two hangars comprising eight bays for narrow-body and wide-body aircraft maintenance operations and operates a Part 147 maintenance training centre, offering comprehensive services including avionics, structural repairs, composite work, emergency equipment servicing, non-destructive testing, and interior refurbishment.
The company services the Airbus A320 (including A320NEO) and A330 families, as well as the Boeing 737 NG and MAX aircraft for major European and international airlines. JOB AIR also holds regulatory approvals from multiple international civil aviation authorities including EASA, FAA, Transport Canada, Bermuda CAA, and others, enabling it to service aircraft registered across diverse global jurisdictions.
“JOB AIR adds significant capacity to our group network and services portfolio,” said Zilvinas Lapinskas, CEO of FL Technics. “It enables us to immediately serve our clients with eight fully operational aircraft maintenance bays, eliminating a few years typically required for construction and certification. This acquisition also introduces us to an established client roster, while the strategic geographical location enables coverage of all Europe, North Africa, and Turkey within a three-four-hour flight radius.”
Leoš Janáček Airport Ostrava is the largest regional airport in the Czech Republic. Situated 20 km southwest of Ostrava in Mošnov, near the Polish and Slovak border, it is an important hub for leisure travel and cargo operations and features the country’s longest runway. In 2024, the airport achieved an unprecedented result, processing more than 22,000 tons of cargo and handling over 493,000 passengers – a remarkable 44% increase in passenger traffic compared to 2023.
