- Full Overhaul and test of:
· V2500-A1, -A5, -D5

This partnership builds upon the success of the existing Air New Zealand Christchurch engine facility, which has been attracting third party work from around the world for more than 25 years.
As a former airline engine shop, this operation is market responsive and specifically customer focused. Customers are consistently pleased with Christchurch's fully equipped 727, 737 -200 to -800 and 767 aircraft maintenance facility, a virtual one-stop shop for airframe, engine and component repair. The Centre understands that the transport of parts and engines is important to customers and has a capable team to provide a variety of rapid transport options. Christchurch Engine Centre has FAA and EASA certification for JT8D and Dart and holds national CAA approvals from nine other countries along with ISO 9001:2000 accreditation. See Quality Assurance
