Turkish Airlines (THY) and their MRO services arm, Turkish Technic, pursued the development of a world-class aircraft line / base maintenance center at their new hub in Istanbul, designed to be one of the most advanced facilities of its kind in the world.
The 248,000 SF facility accommodates all variants of THY’s narrow-body jets and wide-body intercontinental airliners. Rather than a conventional approach that provides aircraft access on one side, we proposed a two-sided solution that offers ultimate scheduling efficiency.
The building is outfitted with advanced aircraft service systems and infrastructure, including overhead cranes, telescoping work platforms, and point-of-use aircraft utilities delivery. The LEED-certified building design also supports a 24/7 technical center with extensive daylight harvesting, advanced heating and ventilation systems, and resilient, reflective interior materials.
