StandardAero to Open CFM56-7B Hospital Shop in DFW This Year

Our Bureau - : Apr 28, 2022 - : 12:41 am

StandardAero is further expanding its CFM56-7B capabilities, with a hospital shop capability to be established in Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) by the year’s end. Engine test capability at the facility is expected in the first half of 2023.

The new capabilities will leverage the Global Engine Services (GES) business acquired by StandardAero last July, specifically the 220,000 sq. ft engine MRO facility and six-cell engine test center located at DFW International Airport. The use of the facility, which was opened in 2017, will allow StandardAero to fast-track the introduction of its CFM56-7B engine test capabilities in support of the global CFM56-7B customer base.

“With over 11,000 CFM56-7B engines in service, StandardAero is proud to demonstrate its commitment to supporting operators worldwide through these latest investments” said Lewis Prebble, President of Airlines and Fleets for StandardAero. “Our new DFW-based hospital shop and test capabilities will enable us to provide operators and owners with convenient, timely support, complimenting the existing range of highly competitive service offerings provided from our Winnipeg facility.”

StandardAero’s CFM56 capabilities include an extensive range of in-house component repair and overhaul capabilities provided by StandardAero Component Services (SACS), as well as engine health monitoring (EHM) services supported by the company’s EHM team. The capabilities were further enhanced in 2021 following the company’s acquisition of PTS Aviation, a worldwide supplier of engines, modules and used serviceable material (USM) for the CFM56-3, -5 and -7B engine models.

Since launching its CFM56-7B program in 2009 StandardAero has undertaken over 700 shop visits.
