Will Service Aircraft In North Africa And The Mid-East
Military aircraft powered by the Rolls-Royce T56 engine in the
Middle East-North Africa (MENA) region will have those engines
serviced and repaired by Vector Aerospace under a new contract
announced Wednesday by one of the company's wholly-owned
subsidiaries. The contract also covers "associated major
assemblies."
Under the agreement, Vector will provide comprehensive T56 engine
repair and overhaul support (including complete test procedures)
for a fleet of Lockheed C-130H aircraft, with estimated total
revenues of approximately $30 million over a three-year term.
Technical repair and overhaul activities in support of the T56
contract will be supplied from the Vector Aerospace-United Kingdom
facilities.
"Securing a new contract of this scope further establishes Vector
as a key MRO service provider within the MENA region, particularly
on the T56 engine," said John MacDougall, Vector's senior
vice-president of sales and marketing. "This reinforces the
Company's strategic focus on increasing its international market
share with rotary and fixed-wing defence and security
operators."
