Airbus invests € 60 million in new military aircraft logistics centre at Manching, Germany
Airbus Defence and Space is investing around € 60 million for a new logistics centre for spare parts of military aircraft (Military Air Spares Centre – MASC) at Manching to the north of Munich. In the presence of the authorities, an official groundbreaking ceremony has marked the start of construction works.
The self-financed 26,300 m² building is due to be operational in early 2020. In the new logistics centre, which covers an area similar to four football fields, function rooms, shipping points as well as office and recreation rooms for staff will also be located.
By pooling all logistics in the new centre, the site will be restructured and processes will be designed to maximise efficiency. An enhanced availability of materiel will contribute to an increased fleet availability for the German Air Force.
This step could be realised as the spare parts management for the German Air Force will be consequently transferred to Airbus and steered out of the Manching site.
