Share:
CHARLOTTE, N.C., Jan. 23 -- Goodrich Corporation (NYSE:GR) can now offer total nacelle support for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft powered by GE-Aviation's GEnx engine. In addition, through a marketing agreement with GE-Aviation, Goodrich's nacelle support will be made available to customers of GE's OnPoint solutions for GEnx engine operators.
"By working together to provide our customers with related service offerings, we can continue to help customers lower their cost of ownership. In keeping with our commitment to provide flexible solutions, our GEnx customers can now supplement their OnPoint services with the Goodrich total nacelle system support," stated John Jarczyk, General Manager for GE- Aviation's GEnx Engine Services.
According to Goodrich's Aerostructures division Aftermarket Services Vice President and General Manager, Bob Gustafson, "Our Aerostructures team has signed this marketing agreement with GE so that we can offer GEnx customers total nacelle support on the Boeing 787 aircraft, to work in conjunction with GE-Aviation's OnPoint solutions. Traditionally, nacelle maintenance and material costs can be variable, unpredictable, and rarely guaranteed. To complement GE's OnPoint engine services, our Goodrich team of nacelle and thrust reverser experts will package all customer support needs into a unified nacelle program. Furthermore, through the use of proactive maintenance management, we will employ parts, rotables, logistics, AOG protection, and MRO to deliver operational satisfaction and also reduce lifecycle costs for our customers."
