Goodrich Corporation has signed a long-term agreement with US Airways to provide a custom-tailored thrust reverser refurbishment program for the airline’s CFM56-5B engines powering its Airbus A320 aircraft. Work will be performed at Goodrich Aerostructures’ Alabama Service Center, a maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facility located in Foley, Ala.
The agreement, which runs through 2012, calls for Goodrich to refurbish half of US Airways’ CFM56-5B engine thrust reversers on its A320 family aircraft and provide initial exchange units to facilitate the maintenance program. The agreement is part of the Aerostructures team’s Prime Solutions(sm) program, a nacelle maintenance management program that is customized to meet each operator’s needs for spare parts, rotable assets, and repair and overhaul services.
