Dallas Airmotive do Brasil Experiences Rapid Growth in Honeywell TFE731 and APU Services

Las Vegas, Nevada…October 9, 2011… Dallas Airmotive do Brasil, a BBA Aviation Engine Repair and Overhaul Group (ERO) company, has experienced rapid growth of its engine repair and support business since the addition of Honeywell TFE731 and 36 series APU authorizations in February, 2011. The company’s Belo Horizonte facility is authorized by Honeywell for Major Periodic Inspection (MPI) and line maintenance of the TFE731 turbofan and line maintenance on 36 series APUs. In addition the facility provides line maintenance and hot section inspection services on Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A and PW100 engines.

“Our recent success in Brasil is punctuated by the three contracts we signed during the August LABACE exposition in São Paulo,” commented Hugh McElroy, President of BBA Aviation Engine Repair and Overhaul Group. “These contracts covered everything from component repair to engine hot section inspections on PT6A, PW100 and TFE731 engines.

“The demand for our services from government, military and civil aviation customers has been significant,” added McElroy. “In recognition of this, we are considering options to increase capacity in the region.”
