What Regional Jet Center BV does

Regional Jet Center B.V. (RJC) is a Dutch aircraft Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) company headquartered at Hangar 73, Schiphol-East, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Air France-KLM Group. Founded as an independent private company in 2015 out of the former Martinair Maintenance & Engineering organization (with Martinair origins dating to 1958), RJC specializes in regional aircraft up to 150 passengers — primarily the Embraer E-jet series (170/190 and E2) as well as Bombardier Q- and CRJ-series — and self-identifies as the largest Embraer MRO in Europe. Its service portfolio spans line maintenance (ramp and transit inspections), hangar maintenance (A-checks, engine changes, landing gear changes), engine and APU services with borescope inspections, component repair (seats, galley, cargo nets, composite interiors), sheet metal and structural repairs, modifications, and 24/7 Aircraft-on-Ground (AOG) emergency support, supported by six in-house backshops (engine, sheet metal, interior, paint, electric/ERI, tooling) at Schiphol.

RJC's technical platform combines regulatory-certified aviation maintenance (EASA Part-145 A-, B-, C-Rating; UK-CAA Part-145; FAA engine shop B-Rating) with innovation-layer tooling including drone-based inspections, 3D borescope imaging, augmented-reality damage localization, electronic signatures, digital archiving, and a Maintenance 4.0 program. The facility footprint is concentrated at Schiphol: Hangar 73 (~250m x 60m x 18m with 10 internal aircraft stands and 6 platform stands), plus Schiphol-Center locations B18 (command post) and B31 (parts, tooling and dangerous-goods storage), with mobile Quick Response Teams deployed to European outstations.

The business model is B2B professional-services MRO delivered through multi-year contracts ranging from fixed-fee to on-call arrangements, sold by a dedicated account-management team (Phil Schrijvers, John Luijf). The primary customer is KLM Cityhopper (an intra-group anchor), with secondary customers comprising multiple unnamed European regional airlines and lessor end-of-lease engine assessments. Distribution is direct enterprise field-sales with no reseller or franchise layer; marketing is largely employer-branding-driven across LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, with a dedicated jobs.rjc.nl careers site.
