Long-Term Deal Covers MRO For Rolls-Royce Tay Engines
BBA Aviation Engine Repair and Overhaul company Dallas Airmotive
recently signed an exclusive, long-term maintenance contract with
Austrian Airlines for maintenance, repair and overhaul of the
airline's Rolls-Royce Tay engines.
"We credit this contract to the strong relationship we have
developed over the past decade with Tyrolean and Austrian
airlines," commented Dallas Airmotive President, Hugh McElroy. "The
length of the contract reflects the commitment of Austrian to
remain in Fokker operations, and our commitment to remain in the
Tay support business for at least several more decades."
In addition to Airbus and Boeing aircraft used on long range
routes, Austrian operates a fleet of nine Fokker F70 and 14 F100
regional airline aircraft serving points across Eastern and Western
Europe. The F70 is powered by two Tay 620-15 engines and the F100
by two Tay 650-15s.
Dallas Airmotive will provide repair and service bulletin work,
mid-life inspections and overhauls out of its Dallas, Texas
overhaul facility. Dallas Airmotive has been a Rolls-Royce
authorized overhaul facility on the Tay engine since 1985 and has
serviced thousands of these engines that are used in both
commercial airline service and business and general aviation.
"We are pleased and honored by Austrian's choice of Dallas
Airmotive for this work," said Dallas Airmotive Vice President
International Sales, Willy Harmon. "The trust they put in our
service bears testimony to the quality of our workmanship and our
focus on the customer."
Dallas Airmotive is one of the largest independent,
OEM-authorized repair and overhaul facilities in the world for
small gas turbine engines.
