Dallas Airmotive officially opens its Singapore Regional Turbine Center (RTC) on February 13, 2012. The new RTC, located at Singapore's Seletar Aerospace Park, will offer authorized Honeywell Major Periodic Inspection service on TFE731 engines and line maintenance on Honeywell TFE731, CFE738, HTF7000 engines and on 36 series, RE100 and RE220 APUs.

Commenting on the new facility, Dallas Airmotive President, Hugh McElroy said, "We are delighted to open our new engine service facility in Singapore, the hub of aviation activity in Asia Pacific, and we are excited to offer authorized Honeywell service to aircraft operators in the region. Dallas Airmotive has been a service provider in Asia Pacific for decades and this facility symbolizes the continued growth in our long-term commitment to expanding global support and efficient engine management."

Among the dignitaries scheduled to be on hand for the opening ceremonies in Singapore on February 13, 2012 are officials from Singapore Economic Development Board, Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore, Changi Airport Group, Honeywell Aerospace, and several airframe OEMs and MRO providers.

In addition to engine maintenance services, the new RTC facility features a F1RST SUPPORT global technical support center to handle AOG and other field-related service requests. "Integral to the Singapore facility is a dedicated F1RST SUPPORT communications center to efficiently manage customer technical questions and AOG situations. It is part of our global F1RST SUPPORT network that now joins our global communications network with control centers in Portsmouth, England and Dallas, Texas. Combined they provide 24-hour, live coverage to operators in need of assistance and can command the full power of F1RST SUPPORT including the dispatch of rental assets, tooling and personnel on the spot. Dallas Airmotive Asia Pacific mobile field service teams are based in Singapore and Bangalore and we will be bringing Hong Kong and Eastern Australia on line later this year. Teams are available 24/7 to answer service needs quickly within the regions where customers need us."

The Singapore Regional Turbine Center is the 13th Dallas Airmotive RTC in operation: 10 are located in the USA, one in the UK, one in Brazil and the new facility in Singapore. Each RTC offers maintenance and repair services that range from minor repair through hot section inspection and, depending on location, service Honeywell, Rolls-Royce, and/or Pratt & Whitney Canada engines.
