Maintenance provider N1 has reached an agreement to offer engine services for business aircraft enrolled in AvGuard’s hourly maintenance coverage programs. AvGuard offers unscheduled maintenance coverage for 447 makes and models of business and general aviation aircraft. The agreement with N1 expands that coverage into engine maintenance, N1 said.

“This partnership enhances the services provided by AvGuard beyond avionics and airframe coverage for scheduled and unscheduled programs,” said N1 president Bill Metera. “Our companies employ the same values in providing high-quality, affordable aftermarket services, and the N1 team is well prepared to offer our custom engine service for all of AvGuard’s customers.”

N1, a joint venture of B&G Aviation and Directional Aviation Capital, will provide scheduled and AOG maintenance events, along with unscheduled and catastrophic coverage for AvGuard-enrolled engines. A global support team will be available to provide round-the-clock coverage, N1 added.

“With more than 350 domestic and strong international support outlets, [AvGuard] required an experienced and trusted partner to support turbine engines at an unmatched value,” N1 said, adding it is able to fill that need with factory-trained mechanics and integrated maintenance service offerings.
