EADS, mas to create regional MRO MAS Aerospace Engineering (MAE), a wholly owned subsidiary of Malaysian Airline System (MAS), and EADS SECA, a Pratt & Whitney-designated aircraft engine repair and overhaul unit of the EADS Group, plan to establish a joint venture company just outside Kuala Lumpur to support and maintain regional airplanes powered by PW100-series turboprops, the companies announced last month.

An MoU entered between the companies calls for the establishment of a so-called one-stop center for engine, airframe and component support for PW100-series engines. The parties expect the joint venture to begin operations next year.
Only two PW100-series engine repair facilities exist in Asia–in Singapore and Australia–and neither serves as an airline MRO.
