Rolls-Royce announced it has signed more than 300 CorporateCare Enhanced service contracts in the year since the programme became available.

The upgraded service package enhances Rolls Royce's market-leading CorporateCare service, the comprehensive, fixed-cost engine maintenance management programme for business jet customers.

The CorporateCare Enhanced service covers a wide range of additional services items for the AE 3007 and Tay engines, including unlimited troubleshooting and mobile repair team travel costs. For the Pearl 15, Pearl 700, BR710 and BR725 engines it also covers maintenance for the whole powerplant, including nacelle, engine build-up and thrust reverser unit-related services. The service has been introduced as standard for all new CorporateCare customers from 2019 onwards and is also eligible as an upgrade to existing contracts.

Alan Mangels, Rolls-Royce, VP Sales & Marketing - Business Aviation, said: 'Since CorporateCare Enhanced was launched in 2018, we have seen very strong demand from customers who see how much value the programme provides. It was developed with the mindset of, 'if we provide it, we cover it', and our customers simply love that.'

Rolls-Royce is the leading business aviation engine supplier, powering more than 3,200 business aircraft in-service. Today, more than 2,000 aircraft are covered by CorporateCare and more than 70 per cent of new delivery Rolls-Royce powered aircraft are enrolled in the programme.

CorporateCare Enhanced offers substantial financial and operational benefits to customers, such as increased asset value and liquidity, mitigating maintenance cost risk and protection against unforeseen costs and unscheduled events anywhere in the world. Increased aircraft availability, reduced management burden, full risk transfer, direct priority access to the Rolls-Royce services infrastructure and remote site assistance are further benefits for our customers.
