Aero-Dienst GmbH, the Nuremberg full-service provider for business aviation and air ambulance services, has signed a significant framework agreement with Dallas, Texas-based engine services provider EAP. The goal of this agreement is to optimize and expand maintenance and repair services for engines and APUs in Europe, with a focus on Honeywell TFE731 engines. Engines from other manufacturers will be added gradually.

The agreement covers AOG support, MRT support and engine repairs, as well as unscheduled and scheduled maintenance up to and including major period inspections (MPI) at Aero-Dienst’s Engine Shop in Nuremberg.

Aero-Dienst’s engine department consists of two workshops: One deals with Honeywell engines and APUs and is certified to work on Honeywell TFE731 series (Mobile Major) engines, HTF7000 series (Line Plus Level) engines, and Honeywell APUs (Line Level). The second workshop is responsible for PW300 series engines manufactured by P&WC, mainly for post-rental inspections as well as line and base maintenance. In addition to their in-workshop duties, the eight members of Aero-Dienst’s Engine Team are available to customers for AOG and MRT assignments. Troubleshooting, repairing and maintaining engines in the field or at the customer’s location are becoming an increasingly important part of daily business.

In addition to its headquarters in Nuremberg, Aero-Dienst also operates stations in Austria (Vienna, Klagenfurt) and a maintenance station in Oberpfaffenhofen near Munich that was set up three years ago. Its component shop in Landsberg am Lech allows Aero-Dienst to provide fast and local repairs for maintenance operators in Europe, the Middle East and Afric
