Will Service Aircraft In North Africa And The Mid-East
Military aircraft powered by the Rolls-Royce T56 engine in the
Middle East-North Africa (MENA) region will have those engines
serviced and repaired by Vector Aerospace under a new contract
announced Wednesday by one of the company's wholly-owned
subsidiaries. The contract also covers "associated major
assemblies."
Under the agreement, Vector will provide comprehensive T56 engine
repair and overhaul support (including complete test procedures)
for a fleet of Lockheed C-130H aircraft, with estimated total
revenues of approximately $30 million over a three-year term.
Technical repair and overhaul activities in support of the T56
contract will be supplied from the Vector Aerospace-United Kingdom
facilities.
"Securing a new contract of this scope further establishes Vector
as a key MRO service provider within the MENA region, particularly
on the T56 engine," said John MacDougall, Vector's senior
vice-president of sales and marketing. "This reinforces the
Company's strategic focus on increasing its international market
share with rotary and fixed-wing defence and security
operators."

airframe and avionics maintenance, repair and overhaul support to
defense operators including the United States (U.S.) Army and Navy,
the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Special Operations,
the Canadian Department of Defense, the United Kingdom Ministry of
Defense, Foreign Military Sales (FMS) operators and numerous
international military services.
