GE Capital Aviation Services (GECAS) has reached agreement to participate in CFM International's unique Portable Maintenance for Lessors (PML) program.
The product is the first of its kind in the industry and enables lessors and operators to optimize engine maintenance costs throughout the life of an aircraft. Under the terms of the agreement, CFM will provide engine maintenance, repair and overhaul services for leased aircraft at a fixed rate per flight hour with features to accommodate a change in either operator or owner. The PML product includes performance and non-performance restoration shop visits, and provides additional support elements including comprehensive remote diagnostics and the TRUEngineTM program benefits.
"We are really pleased to participate in the PML program with CFM," said Sean Flannery, EVP Technical & General Manager GECAS Limited. "It brings value to us and our customers in the form of assured maintenance costs and reduces the need for inefficient return condition shop visits. The program also helps to protect the long-term value of our assets by ensuring that the engines are maintained according to the original manufacturer's standards."
