New North American Headquarters Opens In Indy
Rolls-Royce formally opened its new
North American headquarters for On-Wing Care Thursday. It is the
latest facility to open in a global Rolls-Royce network of aviation
repair and overhaul service centers. Located at the Indianapolis
International Airport, the state-of-the-art facility represents
US$1 million of company investment and is the sixth Rolls-Royce
facility to be opened in Indianapolis, Indiana.
The 14,000 sq. ft. hangar and 11,000 sq. ft. shop provides line
maintenance as well as full support for all Rolls-Royce corporate
& regional aircraft engines. It will also service the
Trent series engines, including the Trent 1000 (pictured below)
which will power the Boeing 787. The facility recently received the
Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) Aviation Maintenance
Technician (AMT) Diamond Award in recognition of the level of
high-quality service the center provides.
The new state-of-the-art center is capable of servicing more
than 100 engines a year. Aircraft operators in the region will
benefit from rapid response, minimized impact to fleet schedules,
reduced costs and critical 24/7 specialist line support.
The facility also provides full-service customer support,
including aircraft operations support and general aircraft
servicing and handling, with access to a customer lounge and
business center amenities.
Speaking at the Opening Ceremony, Marc Drew, Head of On-Wing
Care, Gas Turbine Services, Rolls-Royce plc, said, “The
Rolls-Royce On-Wing care network ensures the highest-level of
service in locations that are convenient to our customers. On-Wing
Care rapid response services maximize aircraft engine operational
availability thereby minimizing potential impact to customer fleet
schedules.”
