StandardAero’s Fleetlands, U.K., engine MRO facility has increased capacity by 50% to support its TFE731 engine line MRO services. As a result, StandardAero can fully process engine overhauls and has recently completed a pair of TFE731 Major Periodic Inspection (MPI) within established U.S. shop turnaround time for a European customer. In addition and since the beginning of this year, the company has also added capabilities including technicians, tooling, workstations and hardware, while adopting its global best practices developed over nearly 40 years of servicing TFE731 engines at its U.S. based facilities.
StandardAero is also continuing to invest into PW300-series capabilities at Fleetlands by adding additional capacity for PW305, PW307 and PW308 engine model MRO services, including rental engines that have been procured to support operators who may not have OEM rental coverage.
On top of investments to expand and grow its engine MRO services, StandardAero has added new customer offices to provide operators with convenient work spaces on site and near the engine shop. Additionally, a new Mobile Services Center has been created at the Fleetlands site, as a base for launching mobile support teams across the region.
