Munich, October 18, 2007 – Dr. Stefan Weingartner (46) will become MTU Aero
Engines' new President and CEO, Commercial Maintenance, effective November
1, 2007. MTU's Supervisory Board nominated him to the position in a meeting
held in the evening of October 18, 2007. Weingartner succeeds Bernd
Kessler, who will join Switzerland-based aircraft maintenance, repair and
overhaul company SR Technics to become its CEO.

Weingartner has been serving as MTU's Senior Vice President, Defence
Programmes since 2002, being responsible for all of the company's
government business, including its activities in the engine programs for
the Eurofighter/Typhoon, the Airbus A400M military transport, the Tiger
helicopter and other aircraft. In this role, he has also been in charge of
MTU's military repair and overhaul business. Weingartner, who holds a
doctorate degree in Engineering and an MBA, has been involved in the
aerospace industry for 18 years. At former DaimlerChrysler Aerospace, he
for several years headed the company's North Asia operations, including the
sales and marketing activities, before he was appointed President of newly
established EADS Japan Co., Ltd.

MTU's Supervisory Board Chairman Johannes P. Huth said: 'With the extensive
senior management experience Stefan Weingartner has gained in the aviation
industry, he combines all the skills it takes to fulfil this role
successfully. He has international experience and a keen customer focus,
and is thoroughly familiar with MTU's markets, products, and services. I'd
like to thank Bernd Kessler for his three years of service to MTU. During
his tenure, he has put the commercial maintenance business on a growth
track.'
