Shangdong Airlines and China Eastern Yunnan Airlines have received certificates of recognition for their CFM56-3 engine on-wing maintenance programmes from Israel Aircraft Industries’ (IAI) Bedek Aviation Group. Two engines for Shangdong Airlines and two engines for China Eastern Yunnan Airlines were last serviced by Bedek during a major shop visit.
David Arzi, IAI corporate vice-president and general manager of Bedek Aviation Group, says: “We are pleased to award these certificates for excellence in on-wing maintenance witnessed by the fact that these engines have operated successfully for more than 10,000 hours on-wing, and that one engine has a time since last shop visit of 17,489 flight hours.”
Bedek services and delivers more than 560 engines a year and its engines division now offers CFM56-7 and Pratt & Whitney 400 series engine maintenance to provide Boeing Next Generation 737 operators with higher thrust, improved efficiency, and lower maintenance costs.
