Covers Engines On B757s, A320s In UK LCC's Fleet
Rolls-Royce Aero Repair
and Overhaul told ANN Wednesday the company has signed a new
agreement for complete engine overhaul service with Monarch
Aircraft Engineering Ltd, a subsidiary of British LCC Monarch
Airlines. The new contract covers engine overhauls on the carrier's
fleet of Rolls-Royce RB211-535-equipped Boeing 757s, and its Airbus
A320s outfitted with International Aero Engines (IAE) V2500
engines.
The deal is worth up to $75 million over the next five years.
Work on Monarch’s RB211s (type shown at right) will be
carried out at the Rolls-Royce AR&O facility in Derby, while
the V2500s will be overhauled at the company’s site in East
Kilbride.
"This is an important decision that recognizes Monarch’s
ongoing confidence in the ability of Rolls-Royce to deliver high
value, high quality levels of service," said John Paterson,
Managing Director, Aero Repair and Overhaul at Rolls-Royce. "We are
delighted that Monarch has chosen to extend its relationship with
us."
The two companies have enjoyed an ongoing relationship since
1991, when the first engine maintenance contract began.
"Our decision to continue our relationship with Rolls-Royce was
based on our experience of working with the company for the last 15
years," said Derek Gibson, Commercial Director at Monarch Aircraft
Engineering. "As the original manufacturer, Rolls-Royce is in the
best position to provide us with an optimum maintenance solution
for its engines."
