Outlook

MTU is excellently positioned to overcome current challenges and tap further market growth. By participating in pioneering engine programs, we can generate even more success in the years ahead. These efforts are aided not only by the development of new propulsion systems and services in the commercial and military OEM and spare parts business but also by the high demand for maintenance services. We benefit here from sustained growth in flight operations—both in passenger and freight transport. This expansion will continue in the decades ahead.
