StandardAero's Helicopter Programs has signed contracts for three new maintenance facilities to become Rolls-Royce RR300 engine Authorized Support Centres (ASC).
Alpha Aviation Co (Tokyo, Japan), Helisul Taxi Aereo LTDA (Curitiba, Brazil) and Florida Suncoast Helicopters (Sarasota, Florida) are now strategically aligned with StandardAero to support the RR300 engine in their respective territories. In addition, existing contracts for RR300 ASCs including Genesis Helicopter Service (Calgary, Alberta), Rotorcraft Support Inc (Filmore, California), Eagle Copters South America (Santiago, Chile) and Taller Piza (Veracruz, Mexico) have all been renewed.
As an ASC, these six facilities are authorised to provide line maintenance and engine repair with specialised tooling and factory-trained technicians. Heavy maintenance and overhaul are performed at StandardAero's facilities in Winnipeg and Richmond BC Canada; Concord, North Carolina; and Portsmouth, United Kingdom, under an Approved Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul Centre (AMROC) license from Rolls-Royce.
“Today's announcement underscores StandardAero's strategic alliances to provide the operators in these geographic markets with the world-class RR300 servicing that StandardAero is known for,” said Cory Waldmo, Director of Customer Service for StandardAero Helicopter Programs. “We look forward to working closely with our ASC partners to support the MRO needs of their customers. There are now over 1,000 RR300 engines in service worldwide.”
