The General Electric CF34-3B, which powers more than 300 in-service Bombardier Challenger 604s, is the latest addition to Engine Assurance Program’s (EAP) hourly engine maintenance program. Also covered in the company’s service offering are the GE CF34-3A/-3A1/-3A2 engines on the Challenger 601 series.
“We’re excited that this high-performing engine now has access to EAP’s high-performing support,” said Sean Lynch, the Dallas-based service provider’s managing director, adding that the CF34-3B traces its roots back to military service. “With EAP, you only need one resource to help with all your engine coverage needs versus dealing with multiple different OEM programs.”
EAP’s plan provides service for a wide range of business jet engines from all the major manufacturers, including Honeywell’s TFE731 family.
By owning the spare parts inventory as well as its own rental engines and APUs, EAP says it is able to mitigate the supply-chain issues that have tested the industry of late and provide proactive customer service. Engines under the company’s care have a 99.98% dispatch reliability rating.
