We recognise that there will be occasions where the possibility of exchanging an engine makes more commercial sense for both parties as an alternative to a shop visit.
Our engine specialists are able to provide engine exchanges at a known cost as an alternative to placing your engine for repair at an MRO facility.
This upfront cost will include a stated performance margin for the exchanged engine and avoid downtime when your engine is in the repair shop.
It will also dispense with the likely need for a lease engine during this period and so offers a cost-effective solution all round.
