StandardAero serves as a key engine MRO partner for Rolls-Royce engines across multiple Type/Model/Series aircraft.
24 March 2021: StandardAero has gained a USD 149 million multi-year contract from the US Navy for the engine maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services for Rolls-Royce T56 Series III engines powering the US Navy and US Marine Corps fleet of C-130s, C-2, P-3 and EP-3 aircraft.
Marc Drobny, President of StandardAero’s Military division said, “We are thrilled to continue expanding our successful partnership supporting Navy and Marine Corps aircraft engine MRO. Powering these aircraft is a strategic and logical continuation within our portfolio of services. Our employees, many of whom have served in the military, take great pride in serving the Navy – Marine Corps Fleet. As a former Naval Aviator, I take great personal pride in our team’s ability to provide exceptional operational readiness through reliable and high-performing engines.”
The multi-year contract will continue into 2026 with the work being performed at StandardAero’s San Antonio and Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada facilities. StandardAero was part of a Multiple Award Contract (MAC) on this program over the last five years, having recently completed option year four in support of this customer. Under the new contract, StandardAero will provide the same high-quality service experience the Navy and Marine Corps has received through the previous multi-year contract.
StandardAero also supports the Rolls-Royce Series IV engines including support for the Marine Corps C-130J AE2100 engine and the Navy E-2D T56-A-427/A MRO requirements as a sub-contractor to Rolls-Royce. All of these programs benefit from the their proven capability and synergy with Rolls-Royce, where StandardAero serves as a key engine MRO partner for Rolls-Royce engines across multiple Type/Model/Series aircraft.
