StandardAero announces it has received all required regulatory approvals and officially completed its acquisition of Signature Aviation’s Engine Repair and Overhaul (ERO) business, an engine maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) provider made up of the following five entities: Dallas Airmotive, H+S Aviation, W.H. Barrett Turbine Engine Company, International Governor Services (IGS) and International Turbine Service (ITS).

StandardAero signs its 40th Collins Aerospace Pro Line 4 to Pro Line 21 modification/upgrade on Falcon 50EX, Falcon 2000 and Falcon 2000EX aircraft. The 40th aircraft is a Falcon 50EX model and is scheduled to be completed at StandardAero’s Springfield, IL, maintenance facility.

Vietnam Airlines, the national flag carrier of Vietnam, awards StandardAero a new contract for the support of the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW127M engines powering its fleet of ATR 72-500 regional turboprops. StandardAero will support the airline from its OEM-authorized PW100 designated overhaul facility (DOF) in Gonesse, France.

Spanish regional airline Air Nostrum L.A.M. S.A. selects StandardAero to provide support services for the Pratt & Whitney PW127M engines powering its fleet of ATR 72-600 regional turboprops. Under the exclusive five-year agreement, StandardAero will provide Air Nostrum with PW127M hot section inspections (HSIs) and additional services from its OEM-authorized PW100 designated overhaul facilities (DOFs) in Gonesse, France, and Summerside, PE, Canada.

StandardAero announces it has appointed Lewis Prebble as president of the company’s Airlines & Fleets division. Prebble most recently served at Rolls-Royce as senior vice president for the Americas, where he led the company’s $1 billion airline-facing jet-engine business and was responsible for delivering comprehensive end-to-end customer services over the entire engine-product lifecycle.

StandardAero completes its 21,000th Honeywell TFE731 engine overhaul, announcing the milestone during the inaugural VBACE event. The achievement continues to reinforce the company’s global leadership in servicing the business-aviation turbofan engine.

StandardAero announces the launch of a new business unit, Engine Trading Solutions (ETS), to support business-aviation operators with multiple comprehensive, affordable options to help extend lifecycles for legacy aircraft. Due to overwhelming market interest in these services, StandardAero is offering OEM-aligned engine trading solutions on platforms for which the company already performs MRO services as well as other major engine platforms.
