Engine Flight Hour Program Exceeds $124m Orders in 2002

Rolls-Royce announced Thursday that its CorporateCare(TM) program -- the most comprehensive engine care program in corporate aviation -- booked orders worth more than $124 million with 34 new customers in 2002.

"Our customers said they wanted an inclusive service, so we introduced CorporateCare in mid-2002 with great success," says Glenn Brown, Vice President of Customer Services and Aftermarket-Corporate Aircraft for Rolls-Royce.

"We designed CorporateCare to ensure that it provides for not just engine maintenance but also engine management services," said Brown. "We surveyed a number of operators and they emphasized the need for completeness, not exceptions.

"CorporateCare delivers value to operators of Rolls-Royce powered corporate aircraft including enhanced aircraft residual values, predictability and control of maintenance costs, all hard cash benefits well known and understood by operators."

More than 300 corporate aircraft are currently under Rolls-Royce engine management programs covering BR710, AE 3007, Tay and Viper-powered aircraft. "We have some very high-profile, multi-fleet customers signed up already and are working with many more whom we expect to sign shortly," said Brown.
