This development enables the company to meet the rising demand from clients including Tier 1 operators who heavily rely on these aircraft.

(PRESS RELEASE) VILNIUS, 19-Mar-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — FL Technics, a globally acclaimed provider of MRO solutions and a subsidiary of Avia Solutions Group, has recently secured EASA Part-145 certification to conduct heavy maintenance on Embraer 170/190 aircraft. This significant achievement positions FL Technics to effectively serve the increasing maintenance demands of its clientele, which includes Tier 1 operators that rely on these aircraft. While the company is already renowned for its heavy maintenance work on Airbus and Boeing narrowbody fleets, it recognizes the promising future of Embraer aircraft—especially as the manufacturer projects substantial growth in the coming decade. This trend underscores the rising relevance of smaller narrow-body aircraft on short-haul routes in Europe, where they are pivotal in catering to regional and high-frequency markets.

Zilvinas Lapinskas, CEO of FL Technics, stated, “FL Technics invests in the future and continuity. As an MRO services leader, recognized as a top heavy maintenance provider for narrow-bodies, we are dedicated to transferring our extensive know-how to new capabilities and positioning ourselves to meet our clients’ needs by servicing all types of aircraft. Our next step is to obtain approval for the maintenance of the E2 series of Embraer, a successor to the E170/E190 series.”

Juozas Lapeika, Deputy CEO for Base Maintenance, added, “Our goal is to expand and strengthen our presence on the global MRO solutions map by addressing the diverse needs of our clients. Embraer aircraft are ideally suited for short-haul operations in Europe—a market that European operators such as TAP Air Portugal, LOT Polish Airlines, Finnair, Air Dolomiti, Helvetic, KLM, Austrian Airlines, British Airways, SAS Link, and others continuously focus on.”

By extending its expertise to the maintenance of Embraer 170/190 aircraft, FL Technics leverages its deep experience in complex structural repairs, a highly efficient production system, and a proactive approach to problem-solving—all underpinned by operational excellence. In addition to this new service, FL Technics offers a comprehensive suite of solutions including base and line maintenance, spare parts and component support, engine repair, full aircraft engineering, technical training, and aerospace logistics. Its services benefit a global roster of commercial aviation clients such as Lufthansa Group, Wizz Air, and EasyJet, among many others.

FL Technics is certified under EASA Part-145, Part-CAMO, Part-147, and Part-21, as well as FAA-145 (Jakarta), with hangars located in Lithuania (Vilnius and Kaunas International Airports), the United Kingdom (Prestwick International Airport), and Indonesia (at both Jakarta International Airport and I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport in Bali), and an upcoming facility at Punta Cana International Airport in the Dominican Republic. With 23 subsidiaries operating across Europe, the Americas, the Middle East, and the Asia-Pacific region, FL Technics Group continues to set benchmarks in the MRO industry worldwide.
