In a unique agreement signed at Le Bourget, ST Aerospace became the first independent maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) company to be formally declared a TRUEngine service provider. ST Aerospace joins GE Aviation Services and Snecma in having this distinction. As a TRUEngine MRO provider, any CFM56 engines overhauled by ST Aerospace are eligible for TRUEngine status, allowing the engine serial numbers to be included in the TRUEngine database made available to industry appraisers and potential buyers. “We are pleased to be a part of the TRUEngine program, and to further develop our longstanding partnership with CFM and GE across the various dimensions of engine MRO total support for the CFM56 family of engines,” said Chang Cheow Teck, president of ST Aerospace. The TRUEngine program, launched in 2008, was developed in response to a need to better understand engine material content as assets are evaluated and redistributed. More than 6,100 CFM56 engine have been qualified to date, and the TRUEngine program serves as a method for identifying engines that have been maintained in accordance with CFM-issued recommendations.
