GA Telesis and Air Transport Services Group Announce JV

Our Bureau - : Jun 3, 2021 - : 2:27 am

GA Telesis  has entered into a joint venture agreement with Air Transport Services Group to build a GA Telesis Specialized Procedures Aeroengine Hospital (“SPAH”) in the Central or Midwest of the United States.

The SPAH will be capable of inducting more than 200 engines per year. While the specific location is under evaluation, consideration will be given to a centralized location in the United States with a strong interstate and airport network.

The SPAH will target engines manufactured by General Electric, Pratt & Whitney, International Aero Engine, and CFM International and will initially offer engine lease return inspections, QEC installations, boroblend repairs, top case repairs, accessory gearbox repairs, hot section repairs, compressor rear frame repairs, engine storage and preservation, airworthiness directives, service bulletin implementation, engine module changes, engine test and thrust conversions, engine troubleshooting and engine MPD tasks.

The grand opening of GA Telesis’ first SPAH in Helsinki, Finland is scheduled for June 13, 2021. The SPAH in Helsinki includes an  integrated test cell capable of producing 100,000 lbs of thrust. The US-based SPAH is projected to be operational in Q1 of 2022 with full FAA approvals and is similarly evaluating proposals for the design, construction, and location of a state-of-the-art test cell projected to produce up to 100,000 lbs of thrust.

“Prior to completion of our SPAH in Helsinki, we have had overwhelming demand for maintenance slots from our global customers,” said Russell Shelton, President of the Engine Strategy Group at GA Telesis, LLC. “This strategic partnership with ATSG will deliver a one-of-a-kind resource to jet engine owners and operators in North and South America, and the test cell will be a game-changer.”

“We are excited to join with GA Telesis to bring engine repair solutions to our portfolio of industry-leading aviation services,” said Rich Corrado, President and CEO of ATSG. “This joint venture with GA Telesis will provide our leasing customers and our airlines with the high quality they have come to expect from ATSG.”
