Dunlop Standard
Aerospace Group Limited's subsidiary company, Standard Aero, has
been awarded a one year contract with four renewable one year

"We are confident that
our proven maintenance practices coupled with state of the art MRO

reliable engines capable of effective performance in all
environments the aircraft are flown in," said Jim Henry, Vice
President of Engineering for Standard Aero Government Services
Division.
