EAP expands engine coverage to Gulfstream G550 fleet
Rolls-Royce BR710C4-11 engines have been added to the hourly programme as EAP widens its expert team and streamlines support.
The BR710C4-11 joins other Rolls-Royce, Pratt & Whitney and GE engines already covered by EAP.

Operators of Gulfstream G550 aircraft powered by BR710C4-11 engines are now eligible for coverage through the Engine Assurance Program. The programme also covers the BR710A1-10 and BR710A2-20, used on Gulfstream GV and Bombardier Global Express, XRS, 5000 and 6000 aircraft.

EAP’s hourly engine maintenance programme already includes all Honeywell TFE731 variants and is continuing to grow by adding General Electric, Pratt & Whitney Canada and Rolls-Royce engines.

“We aren’t just adding the engines, we are adding industry-recognised engine professionals so that our clients get both engine coverage and expert support,” says managing director Sean Lynch. “EAP’s responsive service, robust rental engine pool and significant spare parts inventory set us apart.”

Director of global strategy Delray Dobbins adds: “Operators of Rolls-Royce-powered aircraft are welcoming the option of an engine-only programme as some do not require nacelle coverage, and they also are welcoming more flexibility on minimums.”

EAP owns its spare parts and rental engine/APU inventory, allowing it to overcome supply chain delays. Dispatch reliability across its fleet stands at 99.98 per cent.
