Aero Engine Services

Aero Engine Services is a privately owned aviation company in Cardiff, Wales. It offers aftermarket supply chain solutions and technical consultancy to the commercial aerospace sector. It says it brings over 40 years of experience to the aviation services business.

The company supports airlines, lessors and MROs around the world. It focuses on the CFM56-3, CFM56-5A, CFM56-5B, CFM56-5C, CFM56-7B, CF6-80C2B, V2500-A5 and V2500-D5 engines. These are fitted to the Boeing 737 Classic and 737NG, the Airbus A318, A319, A320, A321 and A340, the Boeing 767 and 747-400, and the McDonnell Douglas MD-90. The company says it is only 30 minutes from GE Aviation Wales.

Engine material supply is a main service. The company can source and supply fully traced used serviceable material, or USM, to airlines, lessors and MROs. All material is repaired only by OEM trusted vendors and comes with the right certification. The company says this lowers maintenance costs compared with new OEM material.

The company also buys unserviceable engine material in any physical condition. This covers parts judged unrepairable at a shop visit and parts outside limits after an event on the line. It also buys surplus serviceable material, such as parts never installed or aged stock from retired fleets.

For shop visit management, the company runs the process from contract talks to redelivery. It says this suits new start ups, large airlines and lessors alike. Its fan blade program keeps matched, moment weighted blades ready to exchange or sell. This covers a full set after fatigue cracking or a pair after a bird strike.

Consultancy work includes pre delivery inspections for lessees and borescope inspection oversight for lessors. The company has more than 20,000 square feet of warehouse and office space.

Its stated strengths are client satisfaction, attention to detail, reliability, quality focus and fast response times.
