- Exchange engines
- Used serviceable material (USM)
- Component repair and overhaul

Ford continued, “By increasing our capacity to support CF34 and CFM56 operators, we are investing in the long-term success of our customers and reinforcing Winnipeg’s role as a key hub within our global network.”
“We are grateful to both the Manitoba provincial government and our other partners for their support as we continue to provide reliable, high-quality engine services for customers around the globe,” added Ford.
