Abu Dhabi, UAE:30April,2018 - Turbine Services & Solutions (TS&S), a leading engine maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) provider for gas turbines and driven equipment that is wholly owned by Mubadala Investment Company PJSC, todaysigned its firstmaintenance agreement with Dubai Aerospace Enterprise (DAE) Ltd, a globally recognized aerospace corporation and one of the largest aircraft leasing companies in the world.
Announced during the Global Aerospace Summit in Abu Dhabi, the contractwill enable TS&S to service various engine types within DAE’s substantial portfolio, including the Trent 700, GEnx and the V2500 engine -- one of which has already been repaired in the Abu Dhabi facility.
The V2500 engine, manufactured by International Aero Engines (IAE), is a turbofan engine that predominantly powers the Airbus A320 family of aircraft and is regarded as one of the most successful commercial jet engines since its entry into service in 1986. Currently,the V2500 engine powers over three thousand aircraft globally, and TS&S decided to become an overhaul facility for the V2500 engine in 2010,following substantial negotiations with IAE.TS&S has since been rapidly increasing its capability and capacitywith the engine.
