New long-term partnership strengthens Delta’s MRO footprint in Europe and supports Jet2.com’s growing fleet

Delta TechOps is expanding its European presence through a new long-term component care agreement with Jet2.com, the United Kingdom’s third-largest airline. Under the contract, Delta’s Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) division will provide comprehensive mechanical and avionics component services for Jet2.com’s aircraft fleets.

Driving global growth

The partnership reinforces Delta TechOps’ standing as a trusted MRO provider for European carriers, showcasing the scale, reliability and technical expertise that distinguish the organization in the global aviation market.

“This agreement highlights the strength of our component care capabilities and the trust that Delta TechOps has earned across Europe,” said Basil Papayoti, Vice President of Commercial at Delta TechOps. “With decades of experience supporting diverse fleets, Delta brings deep technical knowledge to the Jet2.com partnership.”

The new contract builds upon an existing collaboration that began in 2023, when Delta TechOps first provided component maintenance services for Jet2.com.

“We’re proud to support Jet2.com as its fleet and operations continue to grow,” Papayoti added. “Our team remains focused on delivering dependable maintenance and the kind of technical expertise that helps keep Jet2.com aircraft flying safely and efficiently.”

Expertise showcased at MRO Europe

The announcement was made during MRO Europe, the region’s leading aviation maintenance, repair and overhaul exhibition, held from October 14–16 in London. The event gathered industry leaders, suppliers and experts to explore innovation, partnerships and the future of aircraft support across Europe.

Delta TechOps also took part in high-level panel discussions about aging fleets and engine maintenance, emphasizing how new technologies are being integrated into MRO operations to support both legacy and next-generation aircraft platforms.

“We continue to support a robust portfolio of legacy engine customers while expanding our capabilities for next-generation platforms,” said Christy Robinson, Director of Engine Maintenance at Delta TechOps. “We’re not scaling back our legacy shops — we’re investing in them, bringing legacy forward as we industrialize and prepare for the future.”

A legacy of excellence and a future of innovation

The partnership with Jet2.com marks the latest milestone in Delta TechOps’ 25-year journey as a global MRO leader. Since launching third-party maintenance services in 2000, TechOps has grown into one of the world’s most respected providers, serving more than 150 customers across six continents.

Delta TechOps is the only North American MRO certified to service all three of the industry’s most advanced engine families — CFM LEAP, Pratt & Whitney GTF, and Rolls-Royce Trent. This distinction underscores the company’s commitment to innovation, investment in technical excellence, and readiness to meet the evolving needs of modern fleets.

As Delta celebrates its 100th anniversary, this expansion highlights the airline’s enduring legacy of innovation, reliability, and global partnership — a century of aviation excellence with an eye firmly on the future.
