N1 is aiming to change the way business aircraft customers receive engine maintenance. The company, a four-year joint venture between B &amp; G Aviation and Directional Aviation Capital, specializes in Honeywell’s HTF7000 series, 36-150 APU, and TFE731, as well as Pratt &amp; Whitney Canada’s PW500 series, JT15D, and PT6. In addition to offering services like engine maintenance and fleet management, N1 offers a specialized engine maintenance program called the Smart Engine Program.
This program offers benefits not available with traditional maintenance programs, according to N1. Traditional maintenance programs require customers to pay for services even if they do not end up using them. The Smart Engine Program, on the other hand,&nbsp;offers coverage only for the services customers use, allowing them to choose their level of service﻿ and customize the options included to suit their requirements. This program offers catastrophic coverage, as well as scheduled and unscheduled maintenance.
According to N1 president Bill Metera, those enrolled in the Smart Engine Program can save up to 40 percent compared to traditional maintenance programs. Currently, there are approximately 150 engines enrolled in the program.
“Our target audience is the people that buy a used airplane or a secondary market,” Metera told AIN. “They are the people that are really smart about the way they control their maintenance costs.”
N1 offers maintenance services such as line maintenance, component repair and exchange, 2,000/4,000/8,000-hour inspections, global AOG, and rapid response teams. It also offers a fleet management program through which customers receive assistance with contract negotiations, reviews of engine test results and can witness tear-down inspection at the facility.
Metera told AIN that the company plans to introduce at least one more engine type this year. While it has six bays throughout Arizona, N1 has two main locations: Mesa, Arizona, and Morgantown, West Virginia.
