Rolls-Royce wins £110m US Air Force contract
Rolls-Royce has been awarded a £110 million ($182.7m) contract by the US Air Force to expand the company's support of the C-130J Hercules aircraft transport fleet.
The contract for Rolls-Royce's MissionCare service covers sustainment services for the Rolls-Royce AE 2100 engines as well as nacelles and propellers on the US Air Force C-130J fleet.
The work includes logistics and programme management support, engineering services, spares and technical data support. The Air Force increased its order for spares and spare parts, as well as adding Rolls-Royce Field Service Representatives at two new bases.
Rolls-Royce now provides C-130J support at 12 US Air Force bases, with 10 in the US and two overseas.
