Rolls-Royce has announced an expansion of its business aviation services in Europe by incorporating Airline Support Baltic into its network of Authorised Service Centers (ASC). This move is part of Rolls-Royce’s strategic initiative to increase its market share and aftermarket presence in the business aviation sector, as discussed during the previous year’s Capital Markets Day.
The inclusion of Authorised Service Centers is crucial for Rolls-Royce, enhancing its global service capabilities and supporting its growing CorporateCare customer base. The new partnership with Airline Support Baltic, based in Riga, Latvia, specifically extends support to the Rolls-Royce AE3007A engine, which powers the Embraer Legacy 600 and 650 business jets.
Robert Werner, Vice President Aircraft Availability – Business Aviation at Rolls-Royce, commented on the expansion: “Over the coming years we are seeing a significant growth of the installed Rolls-Royce powered business aviation fleet and its flying hours. By collaborating with the world’s most experienced maintenance providers we ensure we are ready for this increase and continue to deliver industry leading service levels for our CorporateCare and CorporateCare Enhanced customers. Airline Support Baltic has proved to be a flexible and competitive partner in Europe and the Middle East and I’m proudly welcoming them as our latest Authorised Service Centers partner.”
Rolls-Royce now boasts over 85 Authorised Service Centers worldwide, claiming the largest global service network in the business aviation industry. This robust network is supported by a dedicated 24/7 Business Aviation Aircraft Availability Center, On-Wing Services Specialists stationed strategically across the USA, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, and numerous spare parts and lease engine storage locations globally.
CorporateCare clients are assured of quicker response times and reduced maintenance durations, with a streamlined administration process designed to enhance their flying experience wherever their business takes them. This strategic enhancement of service infrastructure underscores Rolls-Royce’s commitment to maintaining high service levels amidst the growing demands of the business aviation market.
