This exclusive multi-year agreement will see StandardAero provide MRO services for FAB’s AE 3007A powered fleet from its Maryville OEM-approved AMC for the AE 3007 family engines.
StandardAero, a leading provider of maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services for aviation engines and airframes, has been selected by the Brazilian Air Force (FAB) to provide comprehensive MRO services for the Rolls-Royce AE 3007 engines that power its fleet of Embraer ERJ-145 aircraft. This exclusive multi-year agreement will see StandardAero provide MRO services for FAB’s AE 3007A equipped fleet from its Maryville, TN location, which is an OEM-approved Authorized Maintenance Center (AMC) for the AE 3007 family of engines.
The Maryville facility has supported the AE 3007 since 1997 and supports more AE 3007 engines than any other company worldwide. The Brazilian Air Force uses the locally made ERJ-145 for various operational platforms, including liaison transport (C-99A) and VIP transport (VC-99A/B/C).
“StandardAero is proud to have been entrusted by the Brazilian Air Force with support for its fleet of AE 3007 engines,” said Lewis Prebble, President of Airlines & Fleets division, StandardAero. “Our Maryville facility has provided the FAB with transactional AE 3007 support for several years, and this new multi-year contract is an endorsement of the level of quality and service provided by the team there. StandardAero is committed to meeting and exceeding the FAB’s expectations, and we look forward to supporting the FAB for many years to come,” he further added.
StandardAero is the only U.S.-based AE 3007 AMC with full approval for all variants, including the AE 3007A (ERJ-145 family), AE 3007 (Citation X), and the AE 3007H (supporting the U.S. Government’s Global Hawk family). The company has extensive in-house repair capabilities for the engine, which enables it to provide customers with industry-leading turn times, lower engine operating costs, and world-class customer support.
In addition to supporting the Rolls-Royce AE engine family, the Maryville facility also services the AE 1107 turboshaft engine that powers the Bell-Boeing V-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft. In conjunction with the company’s Winnipeg, MB facility, the Maryville facility also supports the AE 2100 turboprop that powers the Leonardo C-27 Spartan, the Lockheed Martin C-130 J/LM-100J Super Hercules, and the Saab 2000 regional aircraft. The Maryville facility also supports the MT7 marine gas turbine for the U.S. Government that powers the Textron LCAC 100-class-Ship-to-Shore Connector (SSC).
