Intelligent power management company Eaton signed an agreement with Air Support to provide local repair and overhaul of Eaton’s engine fuel components for large commercial aircraft. Under the agreement signed recently at MRO Americas, Air Support will be the first authorized service center for Eaton’s aerospace business across Europe, Middle East and Africa.
“Our strategic agreement with Air Support allows engine fuel pump repairs within the region, reducing turn-around-time (TAT) and freight costs for customers. It also supports the industry’s sustainability initiatives around reducing emissions through the use of local support services,” said Matt Norman, vice president of aftermarket and commercial services for Eaton’s Aerospace Group. “Initially Air Support’s repair capability will focus on the CFM56-7B engine fuel pump, but will quickly grow to include other popular engine fuel pumps. This new opportunity with Air Support highlights our dedication to providing localized, timely service and enhancing customer satisfaction.”
This service agreement meets Eaton’s need for an authorized independent repair station to best serve customers in EMEA, enhancing repair capabilities of engine fuel products with use of official repair documentation and consistent use of OEM spare parts. Additionally, the service agreement aims to maintain an independent spares inventory to ensure competitive TAT performance and provides an approved and licensed alternative supported by Eaton.
“We are honored to be appointed as an Eaton authorized service center in the EMEA region. This agreement is a major milestone for our company and strengthens our commitment to delivering high-quality service and technical expertise to customers across Europe, Middle East and Africa. We look forward to providing reliable and efficient support for Eaton products throughout the region,” said Sabine Tertre, CEO of Air Support.
Eaton will also continue to offer support to customers directly through its existing repair stations, ensuring the highest levels of customer satisfaction.
