XOJET has enrolled its entire fleet of 48 Cessna Citation X aircraft into the Rolls-Royce (Booth 2940) CorporateCare program, a fixed-cost engine maintenance management plan based on hours flown.
The program provides engine management, asset and logistics services, and engine repair and overhaul. All the AE 3007C1-powered Cessnas will be covered by 10-year engine maintenance and management service contracts.
More than 50% of all current production Rolls-Royce business aircraft engines are covered by CorporateCare, including more than 80% of the AE 3007 corporate jet fleet.
“Aligning aftermarket services to aircraft early in their life provides operators with improved engine performance, including maximized engine durability and reliability,” says Scott Shannon, EVP, customer business, corporate and regional engines, Rolls-Royce.
Private investment management company Berwind has also signed on for CorporateCare with the first long-term agreement, which will support its Rolls-Royce BR725-powered Gulfstream G650, scheduled for entry-into-service in the second half of 2012.
The 16,100 lb thrust BR725 is the most advanced member of the BR700 engine series. Initial flight test engines will be delivered to Gulfstream late this year.
