StandardAero's European Service Center (ESC),
located in Tilburg, the Netherlands, has received EASA and FAA certifications
for Honeywell HTF7000 turbofan MRO services and is now authorized to support
business aviation operators within the EMEA region.
In March of 2016, StandardAero was authorized
by Honeywell Aerospace as the industry’s only independent MRO heavy maintenance
provider for the Honeywell HTF7000 family of turbofan engines. Subsequently, the
company was also authorized to provide HTF7000 minor and line maintenance
services for European business aviation operators from its ESC.
The minor and line authorization allows
StandardAero’s ESC to perform all scheduled and unscheduled workscopes up to and
including the 8,000 hour borescope inspections, including combustor liner
changes. StandardAero also manages and administers a rental pool of HTF7000
series engines.

“Our EASA and FAA certifications, along with
our ESC minor line maintenance authorization, demonstrate the new competencies
we bring to HTF7000 engine operators on the European continent,” said
Marc McGowan,
President of StandardAero Business Aviation. “We are continuing to ramp up our
HTF7000 capabilities both in Europe and the U.S. and we are currently well ahead
of our plans for servicing operators all around the world.”
