GE Aerospace and Turkish Technic sign electronics MRO deal

GE Aerospace and Turkish Technic announced a Service and License Agreement that will expand GE Aerospace-authorised maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) support for Data Link Control and Display Units (DCDU) for an initial five-year term. The agreement enables Turkish Technic to offer OEM-authorised services to domestic and global airline customers from its facilities in Istanbul. Under the agreement, GE Aerospace will supply Turkish Technic with dedicated test equipment, OEM parts, and structured technical support. By licensing GE Aerospace technical data and know-how, the partnership will enable Turkish Technic to perform GE Aerospace-authorised DCDU MRO operations to the highest global standards, delivering reliable, high-performance maintenance for cockpit data-link communication equipment. Yasin Birinci, Chief Technical Officer of Turkish Technic said, “This agreement is an important step towards expanding our electronics service capabilities. We are pleased to enhance our MRO services through this agreement with GE Aerospace. This partnership will primarily increase service availability, helping operators reduce downtime and optimize their fleet performance.” “We are proud to deepen our long-standing partnership with Turkish Technic in the region.” said Kris Shepherd, President and General Manager at GE Aerospace, Electrical Power Systems. “This collaboration brings electronics services closer to customers and strengthens Türkiye’s aerospace services ecosystem. We are committed to support this expansion of global DCDU repair capacity, enhancing regional access and service availability.” DCDU supports cockpit data-link communications, helping flight crews manage digital messages as part of modern aircraft communication systems. By adding GE Aerospace-authorized DCDU MRO capability, Turkish Technic will help increase global repair capacity, reduce turnaround times for operators, and ensure long-term service availability for airlines worldwide. The agreement includes access to specialized test equipment, OEM parts, and robust technical support, enabling Turkish Technic to efficiently scale its electronics repair capabilities for global airlines from its hub in Istanbul. ABL Aviation taps GE Aerospace ATS  to support aircraft transitions GE Aerospace, Software as a Service (SaaS), announced that ABL Aviation has signed a five-year agreement to adopt GE Aerospace’s Asset Transfer System (ATS) to support aircraft transitions across its growing portfolio. GE Aerospace’s ATS is a comprehensive platform that enables users to efficiently manage every aspect of asset documentation throughout the leased asset lifecycle. With two intuitive modules in one solution – Records Management and Project Management, ATS provides a single-pane working area for organizing, viewing, searching, retrieving, downloading, and transferring documents digitally. ABL has committed to using ATS for aircraft transitions to help scale consistent process as the fleet expands. “Lessors and airlines are looking for faster, more consistent transitions with clearer visibility and control,” said Andrew Coleman, President and General Manager, GE Aerospace, Software as a Service. “We’re honored ABL Aviation has chosen ATS. In a market where every transition is time-critical and high-stakes, ATS helps teams execute with discipline and predictability, reducing handover friction and keeping aircraft moving into revenue service.” Founder and CEO Ali Ben Lmadani, ABL Aviation, said: “With our fleet growth plan, we are prioritising standardisation and transparency in how we execute aircraft transitions around the world. With ATS, our teams can work from a common workflow, ensure seamless aircraft transitions, and stay focused on delivering for our airline customers as we add aircraft each year. Equally important, the platform enhances transparency for our investors by providing greater visibility into our operational capabilities, asset management discipline and execution standards. This level of insight and transparency strengthens confidence in our management team and our ability to protect and maximise value across our growing global portfolio.” For Editorial Inquiries Contact: Editor Matt Driskill at [email protected] For Advertising Inquiries Contact: Head of Sales Sally Passey at [email protected]
