HAECO partners with Safran Aircraft Engines for LEAP RBS installation

HAECO has announced a long-term partnership with Safran Aircraft Engines for the installation of the reverse bleed system (RBS) on LEAP engines. This collaboration reinforces HAECO's reputation as a trusted provider of high-quality engine services and its commitment to fostering innovation in the aviation industry.

The RBS installation will be performed on-wing and near-wing by HAECO's dedicated global engine support team. HAECO is the first supplier to sign an agreement with Safran Aircraft Engines to retrofit this advanced system on their existing fleet of LEAP engines. Additionally, HAECO will provide storage and housekeeping services for these engines.

Since 2010, HAECO has been providing engine services to Safran Aircraft Engines at its facility in Xiamen, China. This expanded partnership now includes HAECO's global engine support network and marks a significant milestone, extending its services to include LEAP-1A and LEAP-1B engines.

Sandra Nieuwenhuijzen, Group Director of components & engine services at HAECO, highlighted the company's dedication to delivering efficient, reliable, and high-quality engine services. She expressed pride in being selected for Safran Aircraft Engines' RBS retrofit project and anticipation for the opportunities it will bring for their LEAP engine services.

HAECO, with strategically located facilities in Hong Kong, London, Amsterdam, and Dallas, is a leading provider of on-wing and near-wing engine services. The company also offers advanced tooling, comprehensive training, and operates EASA- and FAA-approved shops. HAECO's engine storage facilities are located in Dallas and Greensboro, and the company serves as a centre for lease redelivery of various major engine models.
