Engine Services

Within Engine Services, everything revolves around the power of flight: the engine. Every year, we service and overhaul hundreds of engines for KLM and external customers, including the CFM56, LEAP and GEnx.
From large-scale inspections to precision work on the smallest components, every task is performed with total focus on quality and safety.

Over 700 colleagues – from mechanics and welders to machinists and engineers – work in dedicated shifts and close-knit teams. Together, they keep KLM’s engines running efficiently and reliably.

What that looks like

In Repair and MRO, engines are completely disassembled, cleaned, inspected and rebuilt. Each part is handled with meticulous care to meet the highest aviation standards.

At the final stage of the process lies the test cell, where overhauled engines are test-run under controlled conditions. Depending on the results, an engine is either returned to the customer or goes back into the shop for further analysis.

Supporting teams in Engineering, Material Sourcing, Commercial Operations and Data Transformation & Continuous Improvement ensure planning, innovation and process optimization. Together, we build cleaner, quieter and more efficient engines — ready for the future and designed to operate on Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).
