GA Telesis provides this service in Helsinki, Finland, and will now provide it to US and Canadian operators. It’s estimated that 80% of the aircraft engine market is within 1,000 trucking miles. The ATSG/CAM partnership also guarantees throughput for this endeavor. The facility will be capable of inducting more than two hundred engines per year, focused on those manufactured by General Electric, Pratt & Whitney, International Aero Engine, and CFM International.
