AMETEK MRO Drake Air, an AS9110/9100-certified MRO Centre of Excellence for aircraft thermal management, is expanding its thermal capabilities to support testing, repair and overhaul services for the Airbus A220 platform. This move further reinforces Drake Air’s position as a trusted provider of advanced heat transfer solutions for next-generation commercial aircraft.
The enhanced A220 capability will support a growing operator base seeking reliable, high-quality thermal management repair solutions, underpinned by Drake Air’s deep technical expertise and in-house manufacturing resources. As part of this expansion, Drake Air expects Nu-Matrix—its FAA-approved DER core replacement process—to be available in Q2 2026 for applicable A220 thermal components, offering operators a cost-effective alternative that restores components to like-new performance.
“This expansion reflects our continued focus on investing in the platforms and technologies our customers rely on today and into the future,” said Lance Golwas, Division Vice President and Business Manager, AMETEK MRO Midwest. “By adding A220 test, repair and overhaul capability, we are extending our proven thermal management expertise to support a modern, growing fleet while maintaining the quality, reliability, and turnaround performance Drake Air is known for.”
Drake Air’s expanded A220 capability complements its broad portfolio of thermal management services, including heat exchangers, oil coolers, fuel heaters and precoolers, across commercial, regional, military and rotorcraft applications.
