SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – April 19, 2017 – StandardAero's European Service Center (ESC), located in Tilburg, the Netherlands, has received EASA and FAA certifications for Honeywell HTF7000 turbofan MRO services and is now authorized to support business aviation operators within the EMEA region.
In March of 2016, StandardAero was authorized by Honeywell Aerospace as the industry’s only independent MRO heavy maintenance provider for the Honeywell HTF7000 family of turbofan engines. Subsequently, the company was also authorized to provide HTF7000 minor and line maintenance services for European business aviation operators from its ESC.
