StandardAero has signed a memorandum of agreement with Rolls-Royce to provide maintenance and overhaul services for the AE 2100, AE 1107, and T56 Series IV turboprop engines over the next 20 years. StandardAero, which won a competitive bidding process within Rolls-Royce’s authorized maintenance center networks, will be the primary MRO provider for these powerplants. Through 2038, the agreement’s projected value is expected to exceed $15 billion. Both companies are working to ensure full capability in 2019.

 


“Rolls-Royce needed a trusted partner to perform high volumes of future work, and StandardAero is honored to have been selected through the strength of our customer relationships and our proven abilities to stand up and perform engine MRO programs," said Scott Starrett, president of StandardAero’s military and energy sector.&nbsp;“As we put forth our proposal to earn this contract, we emphasized our proven performance, economics, and full MRO service capabilities—ranging from component repair to complete engine overhaul and test.”&nbsp;&nbsp;

 


This agreement increases StandardAero’s work on the Rolls-Royce AE 2100 and T56 engines. It also expands the company’s MRO support for Rolls-Royce’s military engine product lines and customers. StandardAero will now perform engine services at its facilities in San Antonio, Texas; Maryville, Tennessee; and Winnipeg, Canada. The engine services performed at these locations also include the modification of engine test cells, which will provide full-service MRO capabilities in StandardAero’s North American facilities.

 


Earlier this year, StandardAero became the Rolls-Royce end-of-life engine maintenance service partner for commercial airline engines until approximately 2040 after it signed a letter of intent to provide MRO services for the RB211-535E4 program. The company was also awarded a Rolls-Royce T56 engine depot overhaul contract from the U.S. Air Force, which allows StandardAero to continue supporting the fleet of C-130H turboprops for an additional 8.5 years.
