This agreement extends a longstanding relationship between EIC's air operators and StandardAero, which has supported certain of EIC's air operators from its Canadian overhaul and service centre locations for several decades.

StandardAero will also provide additional support from its network of service centres.

Commenting on the agreement for the EIC air operators, David White, executive vice president aviation, says: “In our years of work together, EIC's air operators have always appreciated StandardAero's professionalism, reliability, attention to detail and understanding of our business. We are pleased to continue our relationship with StandardAero moving forward.”

We are truly honoured to have been entrusted by EIC with the PW100, PT6A and JT15D MRO needs of its air operators and look forward to continuing this close relationship through the provision of reliable, high quality and value for money services for many years to come.”
