Airhub Aviation has signed a strategic maintenance agreement with AerCap to provide base maintenance and aircraft redelivery services at its Siauliai International Airport (SQQ) facility in Lithuania.
"This partnership cements our position as a key player in aircraft transitions and maintenance" said Oleg Novak, Managing Director of Airhub Aviation. "Our Siauliai facility is purpose-built for fast-turnaround base maintenance, aircraft modifications, engine swaps, as well as long-term storage - critical services for lessors managing fleet transitions."
Under the agreement, Airhub Aviation will provide a range of base maintenance, EASA modifications implementation, including avionic modifications, cabin reconfigurations (LOPA mods), engine swaps, landing gear replacements, and implementation of required maintenance for AerCap customers. A dedicated ad-hoc bay will facilitate rapid aircraft inductions, ensuring minimal downtime for lessors and operators.
In addition to MRO services, Airhub Aviation will provide component management, supply chain solutions, and long-term storage services. The company’s asset management division provides mid-life aircraft support, including parts harvesting, component repair management, and optimized inventory solutions for operators and leasing houses.
The Siauliai facility offers extensive long-term parking capacity, accommodating up to 25 narrowbody aircraft simultaneously - one of the largest capacities in the region. The site provides cost-effective storage and transition solutions, complemented by Siauliai International Airport’s proximity to key European markets. As a NATO base airport, Airhub notes that SQQ “offers high-security infrastructure and round-the-clock operational flexibility”.
