StandardAero’s Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) hub, situated at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, TX, is intensifying its backing for the CFM International turbofan engine, marking a milestone with its inaugural customer engine shop visit earlier this spring. Since its inauguration last year, the DFW-based CFM56-7B service centre has welcomed over a dozen engines for diverse work scopes, now advancing to furnish comprehensive maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services catering to operators worldwide.

Presently, StandardAero’s DFW-based CFM56-7B service centre extends an array of quick turn shop visit (QTSV) services including borescope inspections, boro-blend repairs, engine module replacements and QEC/LRU installations, alongside fan, top case, bottom case, hot section and LPT repairs. Augmenting its capabilities, the DFW facility boasts full test cell functionalities for the popular CFM56-7B powerplant at its modern six-cell DFW test complex, facilitating functional and performance engine testing for Boeing 737NG operators and other CFM56-7B asset owners.

Adam Gingras, General Manager – CFM56, DFW for StandardAero, expressed, “StandardAero is delighted to furnish our customers with the convenience of DFW-based CFM56-7B service centre capabilities, and we are committed to enhancing our offerings in the upcoming year.” To meet escalating customer demand, the company plans to relocate to a new 147,000 ft² facility adjacent to the DFW test complex this summer, aiming to introduce full performance restoration shop visit (PRSV) capabilities by year-end.

StandardAero holds CFM International general support license agreement (GSLA) approval for the CFM56-7B, with the DFW centre incorporating the engine into its FAA Part 145 Repair Station operations specifications since early 2023. Additionally, StandardAero delivers a comprehensive range of MRO services for the CFM56-7B from its CFM- and GE Aerospace-approved facility in Winnipeg, MB, Canada, initially commencing engine support as a GE designated fulfilment centre (DFC) in 2009.

Moreover, StandardAero offers a broad spectrum of supplementary services for the CFM56 family, encompassing component repair and overhaul through StandardAero Component Services (SACS), engine, module and used serviceable material (USM) asset management support through PTS Aviation, and engine health monitoring (EHM) data analysis services.

Expanding its support repertoire, StandardAero also provides services for the CFM International LEAP-1A and LEAP-1B engines from its expansive 810,000 ft² facility in San Antonio, TX, as a CFM branded service agreement (CBSA) provider. Recently, the company introduced continued time engine maintenance (CTEM) work scope service offerings, with plans for engine test and full PRSV capabilities slated for later this year.
