German MRO services provider Aero-Dienst has completed its 250th major periodic inspection (MPI) on the Honeywell TFE731 engine series over the past decade. That coincides with the establishment of a special MPI team within the Nuremberg-based firm, which has listed engine maintenance as one of its core competencies for half a century.

That focus has improved its service according to Andrea Weyrich, the company’s engine maintenance shop manager. “This concentration of knowledge and know-how has contributed to a further increase in our overall performance since then,” she said, adding that she foresees an increase in maintenance work on engines from Dassault Falcons.

Headquartered at Albrecht Durer Airport, the first airport constructed in Germany after World War II, the company is a member of the Honeywell channel advisory board and the Honeywell global customer committee. “Most customers entrust their MPIs to us as a matter of course,” noted Weyrich. “They are simply confident that we know their engines inside and out.”
