The announcement follows a review of operations at the Rathcoole plant in Co Dublin.

LTAI said it will begin immediate begin talks with unions and employee representatives over the fate of 400 jobs at the plant.

Unions have expressed fears of substantial jobs losses at LTAI, which maintains aircraft engines.

Arthur Hall of the Technical Engineering and Electrical Union said that if the plant closes, it will be the worst possible Christmas present for the company's 410 employees.

Airmotive was founded in 1980 by Aer Lingus but became part of the Lufthansa Technik group in 1997. 

In 2011, it had a turnover of $205m. 

At one point it employed 700 people though the workforce is now around 410.
