Rolls-Royce's Canadian maintenance arm has clinched four service contracts with US Gulfstream operators, including a deal to support engines for the aircraft manufacturer itself.

Gulfstream has signed a deal for R-R to repair and overhaul Spey, Tay and BMW R-R BR710 engines under a contract believed to total around $10 million over a seven-year period.

Under another order with New-York-based Pfizer, worth around $2 million, R-R will be required to maintain the company's Tay 611-8 engines, which power its fleet of Gulfstream IV business jets.

A contract with Mobil Business Resources of Fairfax, Virginia, also valued at around $2 million, is for the maintenance of the oil-giant subsidiary's Tay 611-8 GIV powerplants.

The final contract, worth $2.5 million, with California, Van Nuys-based Petersen Aviation, is for the maintenance of the Spey 511-8 and Tay 611-8, which power its Gulfstream IIIs and IVs.
