FL Technics Nears Completion of New Punta Cana Facility, Expanding MRO Services in the Americas

FL Technics, a global MRO (maintenance, repair and overhaul) provider and subsidiary of Avia Solutions Group, is expanding its global footprint by establishing a new aircraft maintenance hangar facility in the Dominican Republic. Located in Punta Canta, the site is set to open October 2025.

The new facility will allow FL Technics to complete heavy maintenance operations in the Americas through a 52,000-square-meter complex, delivering base maintenance for Airbus A320 and Boeing B737 family aircraft. The company has already secured key specialists and is actively recruiting the remaining team. Additionally, the certification process with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Instituto Dominicano De Aviación Civil (IDAC) is currently underway.

Zilvinas Lapinskas, CEO of FL Technics, says, "This marks our first hangar maintenance presence in the Americas, building on existing regional parts-trading operations and our line-maintenance network in Canada. It's decisive investment aimed at delivering comprehensive aircraft maintenance solutions while fostering long-term partnerships with regional carriers.” 

FL Technics will roll-out of the new state-of-the-art aviation maintenance hub in three strategic phases:

• Phase one of the project will introduce a 20,000-square-meter hangar, featuring five maintenance bays and an integrated series of support workshops with sheet metal, composite, paint, and interior capabilities. 50% of the hangar facility’s construction is already completed.
• Phase two of the project will see the facility expand to 12 maintenance bays, positioning Punta Cana as a strategic MRO hub for airlines operating in the region.
• The third and final phase will grow the facility to 20 maintenance bays.

Juozas Lapeika, deputy CEO for Base Maintenance, says, "The new facility in Punta Cana represents a significant milestone in FL Technics’ expansion, bringing our aircraft repair and overhaul expertise closer to operators in the Americas. With FAA and IDAC certifications underway, we are well-equipped to provide high-quality aircraft maintenance support, ensuring fleet reliability and operational efficiency.” 

By integrating modern aircraft lifecycle management solutions, FL Technics’ new MRO facility in Punta Cana is set to revolutionize aircraft maintenance and repair services as a growing number of narrow-body aircraft meet the market in the region. This expansion reinforces the company’s commitment to delivering world-class maintenance solutions while strengthening its global presence in the aviation technical support sector.
