The United States Air Force (USAF) has awarded a $237 million multi-year contract to provide engine maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services for General Electric J85 turbojet engines powering the USAF fleet of T-38 trainer aircraft. The multi-year contract with StandardAero will continue into 2028.
Under the new contract, StandardAero will provide the same service the USAF has received through other multi-year contracts, including support for the USAF MRO requirements for Rolls-Royce T56 engines that power C-130 aircraft as well as General Electric F110 MRO engine support, which power international F-15 and F-16 aircraft. All of these programs are performed at the company’s San Antonio facility.
“We are thrilled to continue expanding our successful partnership supporting USAF aircraft engine MRO and the J85 program is a very strategic and logical addition to our portfolio services,” said Scott Starrett, President of StandardAero’s military division. “Our employees take great pride in helping our nation’s airmen achieve the highest level of operational readiness and mission success.”
