Dubai Airshow 2021: Edge collaborates with Sanad to service Rolls-Royce Trent 700 engines – The National

Abu Dhabi's Sanad, the aerospace engineering and leasing solutions unit of Mubadala Investment Company, signed an agreement with GAL, the maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) unit of the UAE defence conglomerate Edge, to support it to provide maintenance services for Rolls-Royce’s Trent 700 engines.

The partnership will support GAL’s three-year performance based logistics (PBL) contract it secured from the UAE Air Force Air Defence (AFAD) on Sunday. GAL and Sanad will provide MRO support to service the engines, reducing the current turnaround time and shop visit costs by eliminating the need to ship engines outside the UAE, the companies said in a statement on Monday.

Rolls-Royce Trent 700 engines power the UAE’s Airbus A330 Multi Role Tanker Transport (MRTT) fleet.
