StandardAero (Booth N073) announced here at EBACE the appointment of Jet Aviation Basel as a Rolls-Royce AE 3007A Service Center, bolstering support for Embraer Legacy 600/650 operators in Europe.

The agreement, signed last month, also provides “operators who fly their Embraer Legacy 600/650 aircraft to Europe from North America the comfort of having a partner who can help support their service requirements,” said Kerry O’Sullivan, v-p of operations and general manager of StandardAero’s Maryville, Tennessee MRO facility, the only U.S.-based authorized maintenance center for the Rolls-Royce engine.

The facility recently celebrated its 5,000th AE 3007 engine overhaul. Jet Aviation is now the MRO’s first European service center for the turbine powerplant.
