Air Corsica partners with StandardAero

Air Corsica has signed an agreement with StandardAero to provide maintenance services for the LEAP-1A engines on its Airbus A320neo aircraft. The deal includes shop visits for engine performance restoration, rapid interventions, component repairs, and data analysis.

Services will be handled in Texas

The maintenance services will be conducted at StandardAero’s facilities in San Antonio, Texas. StandardAero is part of the Premier MRO network managed by CFM International, which specializes in maintaining LEAP engines.

Collaboration began in 2023

This contract expands a partnership between Air Corsica and StandardAero that started in 2023. StandardAero previously provided maintenance for the engines of Air Corsica’s ATR aircraft, including the new ATR 72-600 models.

StandardAero praised for reliability

Jean-Luc Moine, technical director of Air Corsica, described StandardAero as a trusted partner that has helped ensure the reliability of their operations. This includes support during the modernization of their ATR fleet, which uses Pratt & Whitney Canada PW127M-XT engines.

Expanding partnership for future needs

As Air Corsica continues to modernize its fleet with the Airbus A320neo, extending the collaboration to cover LEAP-1A engines is a natural progression. The company emphasizes that having a partner that understands its operational needs ensures continued high reliability for its passengers.
