We are listening carefully to our customers and constantly developing our service offerings. The newly-introduced CorporateCare® Enhanced aftermarket service, which has already logged approximately 250 signed contracts, covers an even wider range of support items for our engines, including maintenance for the nacelle, engine build-up and thrust reverser unit-related services for the Pearl®15, BR710 and BR725.

“Our strategy is paying off and we are really proud to have won first place in Aviation International News’ (AIN) annual independent product support survey. AIN is a very well respected publication so to be voted the best service provider in business aviation by our customers is a fantastic achievement,” he adds.
