The awards recognise significant achievements of authorised maintenance service centers that provide maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services for M250 and RR300 helicopter engines operated by thousands of customers worldwide.
 
StandardAero was awarded two out of four Rolls-Royce awards this year with the legacy StandardAero Helicopters business unit winning the 'FIRST Class Service' award and the newly acquired H+S Aviation (a StandardAero company), receiving the 'Outstanding Partnership' award. This year marked the 13th consecutive year that StandardAero has received one or more Rolls-Royce FIRST Network awards.
