StandardAero has been authorized by Honeywell Aerospace as major maintenance provider for repair and overhaul services for the Honeywell HTF7000 turbofan engine line that powers the Bombardier Challenger 300/350, Embraer Legacy 450/500, Gulfstream G280 and, in the future, Cessna Citation Longitude.
StandardAero will also own and maintain HTF7000 rental bank engines to support operators during major engine overhauls. In addition, StandardAero has been authorized for HTF7000 minor repair capabilities in Europe/Middle East/Africa, as well as in North America for minor and line maintenance, allowing StandardAero to provide comprehensive major and minor engine MRO services to HTF7000-series operators.
The authorization is a long-term agreement under which StandardAero anticipates supporting more than 2,400 aircraft over the life of the contract. StandardAero is implementing complete overhaul capabilities immediately and anticipates performing its first HTF7000 overhaul in the first quarter of next year. Minor repair services will be available worldwide, while major engine overhaul capabilities will be based at StandardAero’s Augusta, Ga. facility.
