MRO EUROPE, LONDON, Oct. 4, 2017- Based on proven experience, UTC Aerospace Systems, a unit of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX), has been selected by Neos, the Italian airline, to provide nacelle system support and maintenance services for its fleet of Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft. As part of a five-year agreement, UTC Aerospace Systems’ Aerostructures business will provide the services at its Prestwick Service Center in Scotland.
The program includes an asset access solution that provides Neos with availability to the full complement of spare 787 nacelle components—inlet cowl, fan cowl, thrust reverser, nozzle and center body—along with exclusive maintenance support during the period of the agreement.
