Rolls-Royce is strengthening its business aviation services infrastructure by expanding the global network of authorised service centres (ASC) for its large CorporateCare customer base.

The ASCs form an important component of the Rolls-Royce services portfolio and add to the existing global service capabilities. The latest addition to the ASC network is Inflite the Jet Centre at London Stansted airport, supporting the AE 3007A engines that power the Embraer Legacy 600 and 650 aircraft.

SVP business aviation services Andy Robinson says: “As the leading supplier of business aircraft engines our customers trust us to deliver outstanding in-service support. Our collaboration with the world's most experienced maintenance providers ensures industry leading service levels for our growing global CorporateCare customer base.”

Rolls-Royce now has 77 authorised service centres in place with key maintenance providers worldwide. The powerful service infrastructure of the ASCs is complimented by on-wing services specialists who are located at strategic hubs in the USA, Europe, Middle East and Asia, and a number of spare parts and lease engine storage locations, all placed strategically around the world.

All this means that CorporateCare customers will benefit from faster response times and reduced maintenance time with simplified, streamlined administration wherever they fly.

Rolls-Royce is the leading business aviation engine supplier, powering more than 3,300 in-service business aircraft. Today, more than 2,000 aircraft are covered by CorporateCare and more than 70 per cent of new delivery Rolls-Royce powered aircraft are enrolled in the programme. Rolls-Royce recently announced that it has already signed the 100th CorporateCare Enhanced service contract, an upgraded service package that enhances its market-leading CorporateCare service for business jet customers.
