AMETEK MRO AEM, a leading provider of aviation maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services, has expanded its heat exchanger capabilities at its Ramsgate facility in the UK. This expansion comes in response to increased customer demand from operators of Airbus A320, Boeing B737, and B757 aircraft fleets. These platforms are currently supported by AMETEK MRO Drake Air in Tulsa, Ohio, and AEM has worked closely with Drake Air to transfer knowledge and experience through a comprehensive technician training program, enabling the development of additional in-house capability in Europe.
AEM and Drake Air have collaborated on a comprehensive training program to offer customers flush and test, weld and resin, as well as core replacement for heat exchangers, with full CAA, FAA, and EASA approval. Wheeler further highlights Drake Air’s expertise in engineering DER (Designated Engineering Representative) solutions and developing replacement cores for popular heat transfer products. These solutions offer equivalent reliability and cost savings for operators seeking alternative options.
