Dallas Airmotive, a BBA Aviation company, officially opened its Singapore Regional Turbine Center (RTC) today. Located at Singapore’s Seletar Aerospace Park, it will offer authorized Honeywell major periodic inspection service on TFE731 engines and line maintenance on Honeywell TFE731, CFE738, HTF7000 engines and on 36 Series RE100 and RE220 APUs.
 In addition to engine maintenance, the new RTC features a “First Support” global technical support center to handle AOG and other field-related service requests. “The Singapore facility is a dedicated First Support communications center to manage customer technical questions and AOG situations. It is part of our global First Support network that now joins our control centers in Portsmouth, England and Dallas, Texas. Combined, they provide 24-hour live coverage to operators in need of assistance,” Dallas Airmotive President Hugh McElroy said.
 The Singapore Regional Turbine Center is the 13th Dallas Airmotive RTC. Ten are in the U.S., one in the U.K., and one in Brazil. Each offers maintenance and repair services from minor repair through hot section inspection and, depending on location, services Honeywell, Rolls-Royce and/or Pratt &amp; Whitney-Canada engines.
