Magnetic MRO, a global provider of aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services, has announced the opening of its fifth hangar at Tallinn Airport (EETN). The expansion significantly increases the Magnetic Group’s base maintenance capacity and is expected to create 80 direct jobs and 240 indirect positions across local aviation sector.
“Capacity on its own is not the story – capability is,” said Jan Kotka, Managing Director at Magnetic MRO. “The extra capacity at our Tallinn facility lets us scale critical checks, integrate more digital and data-driven processes, and introduce services our customers are asking for – setting a higher bar for turnaround, transparency, and total cost of ownership.”
The new hangar:
· Three heavy maintenance bays
· 8,800 sqm of additional space
· Designed to meet LEED Silver certification standards for energy efficiency
· Features a 150-kW solar power system
· Includes specialized aircraft maintenance platforms (tail docks, wing platforms, and access stairs)
With this expansion, Magnetic MRO has reached what the company describes as a “sweet spot” capacity – balancing demand and capability in the heavy maintenance segment. Future growth will focus on expanding the Magnetic Group’s engine workshop capabilities and developing talent through Magnetic Academy.
According to Aavo Kuus, Business Development Manager at Magnetic MRO, “Continued growth at Tallinn Airport ensures airlines get what matters most: access they can rely on and predictable outcomes. That reliability is why customers choose Magnetic MRO.”
The hangar has been operational since the first days of January 2026. Today, all three bays are active and supporting ongoing base maintenance operations. The facility is staffed by experienced Magnetic MRO engineers and technicians, ensuring continuity of service quality and safety standards.
Magnetic MRO has also introduced a distinctive visual element to the facility by commissioning renowned Estonian street artist Von Bomb (Indrek Haas) to create artwork on the hangar doors – reflecting the company’s belief that technical excellence and creativity can coexist in aviation.
This investment marks a strategic milestone in Magnetic MRO’s growth, reinforcing Tallinn as a key hub in the company’s global operations while the company explores opportunities for geographic expansion in the future.
