GA Telesis MRO Services Group has expanded the scope of its on-site field support Turbo Team. In 2021, GAT experienced an increase in requests for on-site technical and maintenance support for a greater volume of aircraft models and systems as the airlines ramped up their flight schedules. The MRO Services Group considers itself an extension of the airline's maintenance functions; Turbo Teams are quickly dispatched to support grounded aircraft (AOG) in urgent need of on-site maintenance. These teams are composed of elite technicians and engineers that travel and troubleshoot, providing the necessary repairs and approvals for aircraft on-site.
"Once again, our team rose to the challenge and provided immediate support to our airline customers," said Pastor Lopez, President of MRO Services. “Our solutions offer the airline customer solid results, cost savings, and prompt return to service. We differentiate ourselves by providing our customers access to the GA Telesis Ecosystem, which includes simultaneous component and engine support,” added Lopez.
As recently announced, in 2021 the MRO Services Group exceeded 2019 sales and earnings by a double-digit percentage. Additionally in 2021, GAT reported an extension and expansion of the Honeywell agreement through the end of 2028, signed landing gear agreements and secured a two-year contract with a major US carrier, and several customers awarded MRO Services Group new part numbers, expanding the content of existing contracts.
