HAECO has announced a long-term partnership with Safran Aircraft Engines for the installation of the reverse bleed system (RBS) on LEAP engines. This partnership further solidifies HAECO's position as a trusted provider of exceptional engine services and its commitment to supporting innovation in the aviation industry.

The installation of the RBS will be carried out on wing and near wing by HAECO's dedicated global engine support team. HAECO is proud to be the first supplier to have signed an agreement with Safran Aircraft Engines to install this cutting-edge system on their existing fleet of LEAP engines. Moreover, HAECO will also offer storage and housekeeping services for these engines.

Having provided engine services to Safran Aircraft Engines since 2010 at its engine services facility in Xiamen, China, this extended partnership, which now covers HAECO’s global engine support represents a significant milestone in this successful collaboration, as HAECO expands its geographic coverage and engine module support to include LEAP-1A and LEAP-1B engines. 

Sandra Nieuwenhuijzen, Group Director of Components & Engine Services at HAECO, said:

"As a best-in-class engine services provider with strategically located shops worldwide, we are dedicated to delivering efficient, reliable, and high-quality engine services that contribute to the success of our business partners. We are proud to be the first partner selected for Safran Aircraft Engine's RBS retrofit project and look forward to the opportunities it presents for our LEAP engine services."
