Airlines in Asia-Pacific to get faster aircraft engine support under GMR Aero Technic, StandardAero pact

Airlines and aircraft operators across the Asia-Pacific region could get faster access to specialised engine maintenance services under a new partnership between Hyderabad-based GMR Aero Technic and global aerospace MRO provider StandardAero, aimed at reducing aircraft downtime and improving fleet availability.

The two companies have signed an agreement to establish GMR Aero Technic as an authorised service centre for on-wing engine support in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. The proposed service centre will provide specialised aircraft engine maintenance and support services to airlines and aircraft operators across the region.

The facility will enable operators to access engine support closer to their operating bases, potentially allowing faster response to maintenance requirements and reducing the time aircraft remain out of service, said a release.
