All CF34™ work will be conducted at StandardAero’s Winnipeg, Canada facility with the RE220 APU work being performed at StandardAero’s Maryville, Tenn. facility.

“Today’s announcement is an acknowledgement of the confidence and satisfaction GoJet has in StandardAero,” said Senior Vice President, Airlines & Fleets, Ian Smart. “The quality of the work coming from our teams, the flexibility of our programs, and the cost advantages we provide our customers is being recognized throughout the industry and demonstrated by our growth not only in our CF34 and RE220 businesses, but also by our migration into other large fan engines such as the CFM56. We’ve long enjoyed our partnership with GoJet and based on today’s announcement; anticipate that relationship to extend well into the future.”
