TurbineAero opens US$10.7m APU MRO facility in Thailand
TurbineAero has opened an auxiliary power unit (APU) repair facility outside Bangkok that will allow it to almost double its capacity in Southeast Asia. The custom-built US$10.7m facility’s layout should help the company increase efficiencies and decrease turnaround times, as well as expand repairs to further vertically integrate its APU aftermarket offerings. TurbineAero in 2019 plans to repair 162 APUs at its Amata City Industrial Estate facility in Chonburi, Thailand, and 190 in 2020. The facility has the capacity for 300, TurbineAero VP and GM Asia Peter Gille said. Because the facility is in a free zone, TurbineAero can complete the customs declarations itself, which, Gille said, makes imports and exports faster. <br/>
