New ARC® shop at Hawker Pacific Aerospace

Hawker Pacific Aerospace opened its new ARC® (Airframe Related
Component) shop in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Thereby the landing gear
specialist broadens its product portfolio by adding services for
thrust reversers. The facility has already received the first five
thrust reverser units (V2500) of launch customer Spirit Airlines.

Dedicated to ARC® services, Hawker Pacific Aerospace’s Fort
Lauderdale facility currently serves as the hub of thrust reverser
services for Lufthansa Technik’s customers within the Americas. The
new shop spreads over 12,000 square feet and can handle the
concurrent servicing of six to eight thrust reversers. It is equipped
with all state-of-the-art tooling and equipment necessary to perform
customized thrust reverser overhaul workscopes.

Hawker Pacific Aerospace plans to build up capability in California
and Florida for further thrust reverser types including CFM56-5B/-7,
CF34-10E as well as Trent 1000 and/or GEnx-1B.
