Sanad Aerotech recently signed a landmark agreement with Rolls-Royce plc (Rolls-Royce) to become a Rolls-Royce Trent 700 Authorised Maintenance Centre (AMC). The agreement, which is valued at AED 23billion, will see Sanad Aerotech provide complete overhaul services for Trent 700 engines - including component repair - to operators globally, over a nine-year period (2019-2027). Sanad Aerotech will, under this agreement, more than triple the number of Trent 700 engines it services annually. The company also provides maintenance, repair and overhaul services for the V2500 engines that operate the Airbus A320 fleet, as well as for GEnx engines used on Boeing B747 and B787 aircraft.
