BCT expands support for SunExpress at Manchester and Birmingham
June 9, 2026

BCT starts line maintenance support for Turkish airline SunExpress at both Manchester and Birmingham airports.



BCT Aviation Maintenance is pleased to announce the commencement of line maintenance support for Turkish airline SunExpress at both Manchester and Birmingham airports.



This new operation has been enabled through the successful expansion of BCT’s existing EASA Part 145 Turkish Approval, which now includes both locations, and extends BCT’s technical capability to support Boeing 737NG and Boeing 737 MAX aircraft.


The addition of SunExpress further strengthens BCT’s growing presence within the UK aviation maintenance sector and reflects the company’s continued commitment to delivering high-quality, reliable, and responsive maintenance solutions for international airline customers.


The expansion of BCT’s Turkish approvals at both Manchester and Birmingham also creates an attractive support option for other Turkish carriers operating into these airports. With approved capability across Boeing 737NG/MAX and Airbus narrowbody fleets, airlines can benefit from locally available, compliant, and responsive line maintenance support that helps minimise operational disruption, improve turnaround reliability, and streamline support arrangements within the UK market.


With these latest approvals, BCT Aviation Maintenance’s capabilities now cover:


·     Airbus A330

·     Airbus A319/A320/A321 family

·     Boeing 737NG

·     Boeing 737 MAX


Furthermore, these additional approvals reinforce BCT’s position as a trusted MRO partner across multiple aircraft fleets and operational locations, supporting airlines with flexible and dependable line maintenance services tailored to their operational requirements.


BCT continues to invest in its approvals, capabilities, and operational footprint to meet the evolving needs of airline operators across the UK and international markets. As operations begin for SunExpress at Manchester and Birmingham, BCT looks forward to building a strong and successful partnership while continuing to provide safe, efficient, and customer-focused maintenance support.
