GA Telesis Engine Services, GATES SPAH, a joint venture between GA Telesis and Air Transport Services Group located in Wilmington, Ohio, announced a new agreement with GE Aerospace On-Wing Support (OWS) in Florence, Ky. near Cincinnati & Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG). The agreement provides for on-wing maintenance offload services for GE Aerospace CF6 engines, and for CFM56 engines from CFM International, the 50/50 joint venture between GE Aerospace and Safran Aircraft Engines.
This agreement allows for additional support for open MRO ecosystems for both CFM56 and CF6 engines. GA Telesis’ location at Wilmington, Ohio’s ILN Airport is an hour’s drive from OWS near CVG, and is in southeast Ohio’s aerospace corridor, which is anchored by the global headquarters of GE Aerospace. This positions the partnership for fast turn times, simplified logistics, and a skilled workforce to support customer needs.
“Expanding our support to include on-wing maintenance requirements from GE Aerospace represents another significant step forward in GA Telesis’ mission to deliver end-to-end engine solutions for our customers,” said Jason Reed, president of GATES USA SPAH. “By offering this capability, we not only enhance our service portfolio but also reinforce our commitment to providing local, Americas-based, innovative solutions that meet the evolving needs of the aviation industry,” he added.
This latest initiative aligns with GA Telesis’ broader strategy of expanding its Engine Services capabilities and further solidifies its position as a trusted partner to the global aviation community.
