MTU Maintenance Hannover continues to provide US carrier JetBlue Airways support: the airline has been sending its IAE V2527 engines to the Hannover shop on an exclusive basis since 2005. Now, the carrier has further entrusted MTU Maintenance with the maintenance, repair and overhaul which now covers all of its V2533s, the most powerful V2500 version on the A321. The amended contract will run until 2020 and includes a five-year renewal option. JetBlue has opted to convert an existing A320 order for 30 aircraft into A321s.
US low-cost carrier JetBlue Airways is headquartered in New York. It currently operates a mixed fleet of 172 Airbus A320 and Embraer aircraft and has another 126 planes, mainly A320s and A321s, on order.
