ST Engineering and LOT Polish Airlines Extend Partnership with Multi-Year Nacelle MRO Agreement

January 22, 2026

ST Engineering’s Commercial Aerospace business today announced the expansion of its longstanding partnership with LOT Polish Airlines, securing a five-year nacelle maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) agreement to support the airline’s 15-strong Boeing 787 Dreamliner fleet. This exclusive agreement not only extends ST Engineering’s nacelle MRO support for LOT Polish Airlines’ 787s, but also strengthens the collaboration with the introduction of a structured refurbishment programme that embeds predictive maintenance methodologies into nacelle lifecycle management. 

The structured refurbishment programme will shift nacelle lifecycle management for LOT Polish Airlines from a reactive maintenance model to a more data-driven planning framework, thereby enhancing cost governance, operational resilience and asset integrity. Leveraging soft time-based scheduling and predictive reliability modelling, the programme aims to minimise unscheduled removals, increase turnaround performance and optimise total cost of ownership for the airline’s 787 operations. 

Henrik Scholtfeldt, Head of Global Nacelle MRO, ST Engineering, said, “This agreement reflects LOT Polish Airlines’ continued trust and confidence in us to keep their Boeing 787 Dreamliner fleet flying safely. By including predictive maintenance in our partnership, we are able to further strengthen our service consistency and support LOT Polish Airlines in reaching higher cost efficiency and operational resilience.” 

Wiktor Radon, Technical Operations Managing Director, LOT Polish Airlines, said, “This programme is a strategic investment in operational efficiency and long-term value creation for fleet resilience. Predictive maintenance provides measurable advantages: fewer unscheduled events, assured turnaround times, and enhanced aircraft availability — outcomes that underpin our financial objectives and reinforce service continuity for our customers.”
