GLOUCESTER, UK – Dowty, a GE Aerospace company and Norrønafly Propeller & NDT have expanded an existing propeller maintenance agreement to include the Saab 2000 platform.
Norrønafly has been an authorised maintainer of Dowty R354, R375, R389 and R390 propeller types since 2023. This latest amendment allows Norrønafly to provide MRO services for the Dowty R381 propeller, as installed on Saab 2000.
The agreement continues to cover several Dowty metal propeller types fitted to other platforms, including the CASA 212 (R334), Jetstream 31/32 (R333), Gulfstream Commander (R306) and Fairchild SA227 (R321, R324).
Norrønafly Propeller & NDT, based out of Oslo, Norway, is a leading European maintenance centre for aircraft propeller service and has a long history of supporting aircraft propeller maintenance, including Dowty products.
Henry Johnston, president at Dowty, “Norrønafly is a highly capable MRO provider and we are pleased to expand the terms of our partnership to support Saab 2000. We will continue to work closely with the Norrønafly team to deliver first class service for Dowty customers.”
