Meanwhile, the company is expanding its authorized service providers (ASPs) network for the turbofan. Recently added ASPs include São Paulo’s Líder Aviação and Bangkok’s Thai Aerospace Services. These facilities provide maintenance, engine installation and removal, as well as support of rental engine logistics for HF120 fans. The facilities in this network are also supported by a GE Honda operations center with field technical managers and customer team managers.
