Rolls-Royce has signed TotalCare and SelectCare service agreements with JSX for its 162-strong fleet of Rolls-Royce AE3007A engines powering the air carrier’s 77 Embraer ERJ-145 and ERJ-135 twinjets.
Valued at $300 million over 10 years, the agreement—signed during last week’s Farnborough Airshow—provides the air carrier with predictability and a known cost for the services and maintenance of the fleet, according to Rolls-Royce. TotalCare will cover 127 engines while SelectCare applies to 35 engines. The SelectCare deal includes an option to transition coverage into TotalCare.
Rolls-Royce said it designed TotalCare to provide operational certainty for customers by transferring time on wing and maintenance cost risk back to Rolls-Royce. The service offering uses data delivered through the Rolls-Royce advanced engine health monitoring system, meant to provide customers with increased operational availability, reliability, and efficiency.
SelectCare allows operators to buy an agreed number of shop visits for an agreed price. The service offers refurbishment shop visit pricing and access to optional services to suit the operator's needs and risk profile. It also allows operators to manage the “green time” within their fleets.
