Showcasing Overhaul And Repair Services At EBACE In Geneva
StandardAero and Associated Air Center (AAC), the company's
business unit responsible for the maintenance and modification of
large transport aircraft, are highlighting an extensive array of
maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) and completion capabilities
and services at this year's EBACE show in Geneva, Switzerland.
"Despite a very challenging year for general aviation markets
everywhere, StandardAero performed well and as a result, comes to
EBACE with an array of enhanced offerings for the business aviation
community," said StandardAero president & CEO, Rob Mionis.
"Improvements throughout our AAC business have resulted in faster
delivery throughputs for our large transport aircraft customers.
And our turnaround efforts within our business aviation sector have
produced a host of achievements ranging from industry-leading
engine MRO turn times, to new cost assistance programs, to
recognized operational excellence in our safety management systems.
We've had a busy year and want to share with our European
customer's the fruits of our labor."
Underscoring its growing significance in the European market,
the company recently renewed its General Conditions (GC) agreement
with Airbus relating to the design, development and supply of
converted Airbus aircraft. Since first becoming an Airbus Corporate
Jet (ACJ) Completion and Service Centers, AAC has performed 14 ACJ
completions for head of state and VIP clients based in the Middle
East, Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe and the United States.
"For nearly 100 years, StandardAero has been recognized as a
leader in the maintenance, repair and overhaul of business aviation
aircraft and as a Tier 1 transport-category completion center,"
said Jack Lawless, Chief Operating Officer, Standard Aero and
President, Associated Air Center. "We want to offer the benefits of
our services and experience by leveraging our turnkey maintenance
and service capabilities to business aircraft operators and
maintenance directors throughout the globe."
Since last year's EBACE show, the company has been renewed by
Dassault as a Falcon Authorized Service Center at its four primary
business aviation locations in the U.S. It has also received
Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) Organization Designation
Authorization (ODA) from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
allowing the company to approve design data, tests, and analyses,
as well as make findings of compliance to the regulations, allowing
the company to sign STCs on behalf of the FAA for aircraft
alterations.
"StandardAero is actively partnering with service centers around
the world to support their engineering and FAA and EASA
certification efforts in bringing newer, safer technology to the
legacy fleet," said Scott Taylor, Senior Vice President of Business
Aviation at StandardAero.
