SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – November 14, 2023 – StandardAero recently completed its first Honeywell HTF7000 minor level maintenance event, a 4800-hour inspection on an HTF7350 engine, at its Gosport, UK Regional Turbine Center (RTC) for a customer in the EMEA region.
“HTF7000 operators in the EMEA region now have a facility option to keep their engine in region for minor level maintenance, in addition to regional Mobile Service Team support, backed by StandardAero’s expertise built over 15 years of supporting maintenance and repair of the engine,” said Lisa Cooper, StandardAero UK Regional Turbine Center (RTC) and Mobile Service Team (MST) Program Manager.
StandardAero Business Aviation’s teams from Augusta, Georgia, the MST technicians from Rijen, Netherlands, and the Gosport team worked together to launch HTF7000 operations at the UK facility.
“I’m confident the UK RTC will raise the standard of HTF7000 engine support for the region’s customers now that they are fully capable of performing minor level maintenance on-site,” said Jason Strobel, StandardAero Business Aviation HTF7000 Commercial Program Director.
Additionally, Strobel mentioned the organization’s strategically-located inventory, in-house repair capabilities and factory-trained technicians have enabled StandardAero’s Gosport RTC to better support the region’s customers, and ultimately, reduce turn-around-time.
