In addition, the company’s transition program included the integration of two more COEs located in Langley, British Columbia, and Summerside, Prince Edward Island, to support helicopter airframe and component MRO services and turboprop engine MRO services, respectively. The two-year COE restructuring program was originally expected to be completed by the end of 2020. 

Claus Eisenschmid, VP and General Manager of the Winnipeg Helicopter COE, said: “The early completion of our COEs was a key element to ensure organizational efficiency and increase our capability to respond more effectively to the dynamic and uncertain market conditions that currently affect customers’ operations anywhere in the world. Our overall strategy and commitment is to be the most trusted partner for MRO services.”

To further support customers, the company also invested additional resources in facility improvements and acquired a new test cell supporting Rolls-Royce M250/RR300 helicopter engines.

Scott Cunningham, Rolls-Royce Director of Helicopter Services, commented: “Rolls-Royce is proud to recognize StandardAero for their strong partnership and ongoing support as a network provider. Their significant investment in new capabilities at the Winnipeg COE ensures that StandardAero will continue to provide world-class MRO services to Model 250/RR300 customers for years to come.”
