LAS VEGAS – October 10, 2017 – GE Aviation has renewed its authorized service center agreement with StandardAero, continuing five years of service supporting CF34-3 on business jets.
When it comes to selecting work scopes and maintenance sites, StandardAero's global reach and comprehensive services give the owners and operators of CF34-powered aircraft many options. With its ‘one-stop-shop’ approach for maintenance, StandardAero has positioned itself to craft customer-focused repair solutions based on deep knowledge of GE's CF34 engine and its service requirements.
"StandardAero is a leader in business jet maintenance and we are proud to have them as a member of a world-class network that our OnPointSM customers rely on for timely event resolution and planned improvements to their aircraft,” said Brad Mottier, vice president and general manager of GE Aviation’s Business & General Aviation and Integrated Services organization. “We, as well as our customers, appreciate the robust, cooperative relationship that GE and StandardAero have developed over the years.”
GE Aviation’s authorized service network for business and general aviation engines numbers more than 50 sites globally for M601, H80, CFM56, and CF34 engines. This network enables customers to have access to OEM-quality service and support around the world.
Since its service entry in 1983 on the Challenger 601 business jet, the CF34 has earned an industry-leading reputation as one of the cleanest, quietest and most fuel-efficient engines in its class. These rugged, airliner-class powerplants set a new standard in corporate aviation for reliability and low maintenance costs.
Across the CF34 family, GE has delivered more than 7,000 engines and continuously invests in product enhancements. Today, CF34 engines are in service with more than 900 business jet operators in more than 69 countries.
