StandardAero Reveals Five-year Growth Ambition
StandardAero expects to be able to continue the rapid rate of business growth it has achieved over the past five years.
A significant proportion of StandardAero’s work involves large airliner powerplant maintenance. The company tripled its CFM56 activity over the last three years, and also inked a 10-year contract with Rolls-Royce to supply MRO support for the RB.211 family of turbofans.

Having doubled its annual revenues and expanded its business dramatically over the past five years by combining organic growth with the new work brought by four strategic acquisitions, StandardAero aims to double its size and revenues again in the next five years.

Founded in 1911 and now owned by The Carlyle Group, Scottsdale, Arizona-headquartered StandardAero has grown in the past five years to become “one of the largest, if not the largest, independent jet-engine maintenance companies on the planet,” CEO Russell Ford told AIN. “The company is much larger, broader, and greater in scope and capacity than it ever has been in the last 100 years.”
