FL Technics expands Kaunas engine shop from five to eight bays to boost CFM56 maintenance capacity

FL Technics Engine Services has increased capacity at its Kaunas, Lithuania engine shop from five to eight bays, aiming to absorb rising global demand for CFM56 maintenance and shorten turnaround times for operators reliant on the workhorse narrowbody engine across fleets.

What Hype is tracking

The shop expansion adds three bays (from five to eight), directly increasing CFM56 throughput and helping relieve engine maintenance bottlenecks for a globally widespread narrowbody fleet. See regional capacity moves such as ST Engineering's Paya Lebar engine MRO doubling CFM56 and LEAP capacity.
The move fits FL Technics' broader growth of global service capability—complementing its heavy airframe inspection hub in Punta Cana and new MRO sites in Indonesia—strengthening the group's ability to capture ageing narrowbody and engine workloads alongside its Honeywell channel partnership.
