CTS Engines open new Engine Service Center

CTS Engines, a leading independent engine MRO, reported the grand opening of its new, state-of-the-art engine service center. The 60,000 sft² building, located next to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, is a full service engine overhaul facility capable of performing the vast majority of all engine repairs in-house. The facility includes ten full service engine bays with gantries, full cleaning and FPI capabilities, weld shop, plasma booth, coordinate measuring machine, high speed blade tip grinder, vertical machining center, horizontal and vertical balancing machines, bearing room, and gearbox room. The shop is capable of performing approximately 70% of all repair services in-house, a number commensurate with other full service engine MROs. The construction of the new facility was part of CTS’s previously announced $25m capital expansion program. Other directives under this program include the acquisition of additional tooling and machinery, spare engines, and the building of two high thrust engine test stands in Jupiter, Florida.
