StandardAero has been selected as the U.S. Navy's primary engine depot for support of the CFM56-7 engines used on the P-8A aircraft.
This is the 2nd straight year StandardAero has been selected to perform this work, which is carried-out under a U.S. Federal government Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) type contract that is competed and awarded each year among the U.S. Navy’s approved sources.
