Air Wisconsin Airlines has awarded Lockheed Martin Commercial Engine Solutions (LMCES) a five-year, exclusive contract to perform engine maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services on CF34-3 engines.
The new agreement also includes two one-year options, which could extend contracted engine MRO services through 2023. Engine repair and overhaul work for Air Wisconsin will commence in the second quarter of 2016 and will be performed at the LMCES Montreal facility, which has nearly 20 years of MRO experience on the CF34-3 engine.
“We selected Lockheed Martin for this important direct maintenance engine contract based on their exceptional customer service, technical expertise, ability to meet turn times and flexibility in finding customized, value-driven solutions,” said Janet Huculak, Vice President of Strategic Sourcing and Procurement.
Bill Brotherton, President of LMCES added, “This is the second long-term, exclusive fleet agreement we have signed already this year. It is a validation that our airline heritage and collaborative approach provide an offering our customers’ value. Also important in the marketplace is LMCES’s long-term commitment to the CF34 engine, which we consider to be part of our core business. We are honored to be Air Wisconsin’s long-term partner.”
A division of Lockheed Martin Canada, LMCES’s Montreal facility provides MRO and test cell capabilities as well as component and part repairs for commercial engines that power the CRJ-200, D-8, 707 and A320 and 737 families.
