Marshall Aerospace teams with Alsalam for C-130 MRO

Marshall Aerospace has signed a new teaming agreement with Saudi Arabia's Alsalam Aircraft Company to develop MRO capabilities for C-130.

This teaming agreement, which extends the business relations between the two companies, will provide the Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF) with a cost-effective C-130 modification, maintenance and repair services.   The agreement was signed at the Dubai Airshow.

Marshall Aerospace has a long-standing relationship with the C-130 platform. The company specialises in the conversion, modification, maintenance and support of aircraft and holds many type approvals, enabling the Marshall Aerospace to design and certify modifications on a number of commercial and military platforms.

Within the contract, Alsalam provides skilled manpower to support and train the RSAF to maintain the fleet inside and outside the Kingdom.   Alsalam has also provided Programmed Depot Maintenance ( PDM), technical support services and cockpit upgrade for the C-130 Fleet.
