Direct Maintenance to provide contracted line maintenance support for Boeing 777 and 787 aircraft at Dublin Airport from 1 January 2026.
Direct Maintenance, operating under the brand name Magnetic Line, has secured a line maintenance agreement with American Airlines to support the airline’s Boeing 777 and Boeing 787 operations at Dublin Airport (DUB) from 1 January 2026.
The agreement includes full technical handling services with ETOPS support. American Airlines operates approximately one to two daily flights to Dublin during winter, increasing to up to five daily flights in summer.
“As the largest independent Part-145 maintenance provider in Dublin, American Airlines represents a strategic addition to our client portfolio,” said James Dyer, Station Manager at Direct Maintenance Dublin. “Supporting up to five daily wide-body operations during peak season requires significant technical capability and operational flexibility.”
To support the contract, Dublin’s station will relocate to a larger facility at the airport, with expanded storage and office spaces. The local engineering team will be increased to meet operation requirements.
“American Airlines operates one of the most demanding schedules in the industry, and we’re proud to have been entrusted to perform line maintenance that directly impacts their operational performance,” said Getter Kägu, Commercial Representative at Direct Maintenance. “This agreement validates our technical capabilities and represents a significant milestone in our growth.”
