UTC Aerospace Systems and Singapore Technologies Aerospace (ST Aerospace) have entered into an agreement to provide maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services on Boeing 787 Dreamliner nacelle systems for the Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 and General Electric GEnx engines.
This agreement will allow ST Aerospace to offer a wide range of range of nacelle MRO services using UTC Aerospace Systems’ repair processes for customers globally.
ST Aerospace will invest in extensive repair and overhaul capabilities, and maintain an inventory of aircraft components and parts to support operators of 787s worldwide.
The company will use UTC Aerospace Systems’ rotables pool, while leveraging its global MRO network and close relationship with operators that have ordered the Boeing 787.
UTC Aerospace System Aerostructures business president Marc Duvall said that this agreement with ST Aerospace would allow both companies to ensure the continued successful entry into service of the 787 Dreamliner for operators worldwide.
"Over the years, we’ve developed an intimate understanding of our customers’ requirements for high-quality MRO services with rapid turnaround times, which enables us to both respond to and anticipate their needs," Duvall said.
