The step is part of the airline’s overall route network development plan, which includes service to Europe and other international destinations. “We are fully committed to our long-standing partnership with GMF AeroAsia, the Garuda subsidiary specialised in Repair, Maintenance and Overhaul, which Aircelle is reinforcing with this multi-year contract,” said Marc Laubreaux the Vice-President of Aircelle’s Customer Support Division. “Our capabilities in thrust reverser maintenance and overhaul played an important role in the airline’s decision, including Aircelle’s expertise in the manufacture and repair of composite structures.” The Rolls-Royce Trent 700 engine utilizes the world’s first large pivot door-type thrust reverser, and includes an innovative one-piece composite IFS. Aircelle conceived and builds the Trent 700’s thrust reverser at its U.K. facility in Burnley.
